Su-33 Carrier Landings

[Esac_mirmidon]

I know in the Admiral Kutznesov are 4 wires above carrier deck for the Su-33 arrestor hook.

 

But what is considered a " perfect " carrier landing in terms of wire catched?

 

In US NAVY i think one of the most viewed papers in any pilots meeting is the list of the landings score made ( scored about what wire is catched )

 

Is there any similar in russian navy? Which is the perfect wire to catch in a perfect carrier landing? 1,2,3,4 ( starting from the stern of the carrier)

3rd wire

3rd wire

 

as far as USN protocol goes- what he said.

 

Although- you're not exactly going to be chucked overboard for hitting the #2..

[Sytse]

Yes, third wire. So aim for the big white circle. ;)

Well i find this info in a Cy-33 russian document.

 

 

Someone could translate this from russian to english?

 

In the deck diagram i can see wires marked with " 22-23-24-25 "

 

And i think in the text are explaning the right order but i cant translate well.

 

The most important thing is wich wire is the Number 1? The first from the stern or the first from the bow?

[Esac_mirmidon]

Bump...

This all changed somewhat starting with the Reagan,(CVN 76) where you will find only 3 wires covering the same area as the 4 did. I'm sure they came up with a preferred wire for this configuration, but I don't know what that is.

The #1 wire is the closest to the stern.

 

The gist of the text from about midway down is: To evaluate pilot training a scoring system was devised. The highest score is for catching the #2 wire. Next the #3, then the #4. The lowest mark is reserved for the #1 wire because of its closeness to the shear end of the ship.

Thanks Ironhand, thanks a lot for your help.

 

Now it is time for training and catch the # 2 wire ...

Ironhand,

Thanks for the translation. That's what I remember from your tutorial "...if you follow the glideslope, you should catch the No.2 wire..."
