theIRIEone Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) EDIT: Please ignore, today's update appeared to have fixed the issue again. Made some observations on more recent YT videos and flying myself: Prior, depending on weight, we used to approach the carrier at around 135kts - give or take a few kts depending on weight. Obviously we fly on-speed and not numbers in the box, yet you keep an eye on those. Nowadays, on-speed is more like 145kts, not sure when that changed. Is this a bug or am i missing some infos here? As far as i remember, Charlie Hornets always landed around 135kts (as explained in Wags' Supercarrier landing How To video as well), what did change and why? Edited March 10, 2023 by theIRIEone new update fixed issue
FightsOn Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 145kts would be more accurate at max trap weight. The Super Hornet is 136kts at max trap, the Hornet was always a little faster in the pattern. I’d have to break out the book to get the exact number though. 1 1
