Case III question

[speed-of-heat]

Is the recovery radial meant to be the reciprocal of the BRC during case III ?

I asked a similar question a while back, but fundamentally, no (if I’ve understood your question correctly). The recovery radial will always be the reciprocal of the angled deck or in DCS ATC calls the "final bearing". In  real life the Marshal stack is also supposed to be offset from the final bearing but that's not implemented as yet.

 

Here's the post I was referring to:

Per CV NATOPS, the standard marshal radial is meant to be on the reciprocal of final bearing (the angled deck)

That said, in reality there are many time where either weather, airspace constraints, or other factors will necessitate placing the marshal radial off of final bearing. In those cases, the procedures to correct to final bearing whether on the CV-1 or CV-2 approach (rarely utilized), are also outlined in CV NATOPS:

In short, no. 
 

@Spoolis right in what cv-natops sais however in real life it is not the norm.
 

offsetting the marshal radial from the reciprocal of the FB allows CATCC to vector if needed and provides  them more flexibility in managing the spacing between aircraft. Equally airspace/terrain/weather might not allow the marshal radial to be exactly 180degrees of the FB. 

 

all described in the manual below.

Thanks.  And for clarity what is modelled at present in the sim?

[Pieterras]

Currently modelled is the Reciprocal of the FB… 

 

To make you’re life easy, NEVER use the word BRC again when you talk about Case III. It only causes confusion and BRC has not relation to Case III. It is only set on takeoff for SA purposes by some as far as zo am aware.
