Brun Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Page 40 of the supercarrier manual has an image of a CASE I approach which appears to show 450' ASL entering the groove. That's way too high, no?

Tiger-II Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 0.75 NM = 4557 ft. A 3 degree glideslope = 238 ft, so it's about twice as high as necessary. Isn't the glideslope 2 degrees on the carrier?

=4c=Nikola Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Isn't the glideslope 2 degrees on the carrier? For which aircraft? True or apparent glideslope? Do not expect fairness. The times of chivalry and fair competition are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skombijohn Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The flight deck is ~60ft ASL, so you need to take this into account as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brun Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 I like to pass through the ship's wake at 360ft ASL Yeah, something like that is what I had in mind. The position of the text is a bit ambiguous so it's not clear exactly which point it's referring to.
