JRM Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 HI I'm practicing ILS landings with extreme low visibility weather conditions(fog with 700 mts thickness and 500 mts visibility) I guess you know that it's too hard and just because you can only get to see the carrier at only 0.3nm of distance at 170 feet of height with this current settings My question is...Do real navy pilots (F18) can land in carrier with this horrible weather conditions? Wich are the limits for navy operations when the fog is so dense that you have to rely everything on your instruments?
Swift. Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 The by the book answer is 300ft 3/4NM for ICLS, However with ACLS you can obviously do things like this ^ 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2
JRM Posted May 19, 2020 Author Posted May 19, 2020 Well, the f18 doesnt have the ACLS, thanks for the reply!!!
G B Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) That sandstorm landing was via LSO talkdown. The audio just wasn’t recorded. ACLS was not used to land the plane. Edited May 19, 2020 by G B
JRM Posted May 19, 2020 Author Posted May 19, 2020 Well, the f18 doesnt have the ACLS, thanks for the reply!!! Just to clarify Our F18 lot20 doesnt have it
Swift. Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Just to clarify Our F18 lot20 doesnt have it What makes you say that? 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2
JRM Posted May 19, 2020 Author Posted May 19, 2020 What makes you say that? Well I mean that currently our F18 lot 20 doesn't have the ACLS, I guess that ACLS will be implemented later in early access
Swift. Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Ah, yes. We should be seeing ACLS soon. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2
Creepy Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Also, if you get a “Paddles Contact” on an approach, you are no longer referencing the approach minimums and Paddles owns your jet (over to you on how much you want to trust a MP paddles in the sim haha). I’ve landed a few times where the first thing I saw was the yellow shirt telling me to put my hook up post-trap... not the most fun I’ve ever had.
G B Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I edited my above post. Typo. Clarifying that the sandstorm video was LSO talkdown. Also, what creepy said. Those minimums are for when you are not given a “paddles contact” from the LSO, and are given a “continue” instead.
Swift. Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Thank GB and Creepy. I'm not too well versed in the ACLS symbols, I guess it would say 'coupled' or something for an acls landing. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2
G B Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Thank GB and Creepy. I'm not too well versed in the ACLS symbols, I guess it would say 'coupled' or something for an acls landing. Well that, and it would be flying a nearly rails approach with all the symbology centered and virtually no corrections :). As opposed to the video we see with various turns and VSI changes, etc.
