Hey guys.... I am sort of down... i just can't get the landings right!!
can soemone who actually CAN land it do a tutorial video with speed, altitude and throttle please?!
I acomplish a safe landing in 1 out of 8 or so and of these 75% are safe landings without cathing am damn cable!!
most of the time I bounce off due to to steep an agle but I cannot see am damn thing from that pit if I go in more flat... I dunno how to get there.
Ok Carrier Landing, this is how you do it, doesn't matter what plane you're in, the size of the hook, whether it has one or not...
We'll assume you have a hook as you can approach the whole landing idea differently.
Landing Speed: With a hook you land as you would normally, doesn't need a 3 point necessarily but better with. Under 200kmh in any plane is decent for landing, under 400kmh in any plane and u can drop flaps or gear without jam. So landing you're looking around 180kmh touch down.
Catching the wire: Perhaps using F2/F8 will help you with this at first... You catch the hook when you pull your tail down, so think about it like this, if you touch the carrier with your front wheels and yank the stick backwards, you instantly catch the wire... or if you just 3 point it down you'll catch the wire.
Approach: Can be short, long, coming out of a loop, whatever doesn't really matter. Get your speed correct and at 50 meters from the carrier you should just be 10-20 meters above it or flat depending what you prefer but a slight height above the carrier is good. You don't need to go high above it and go down a glide slope like I see a lot of people do as you'll tend to end up too fast and also wack your gear down hard.
Conclusion: It's like landing on a normal airstrip... you just yank the stick backwards once you touchdown to make sure you catch the wire that's all...
