    That carrier break straight over the top of aircraft being launched from the cat below you is some of the best footage I have ever seen. Fantastic stuff.

    Landing on Carriers (at night as well) is what separates the Navy & Marine Corps pilots from the rest. And as badass as the Thunder Birds are from the Air force - the "Blue Angels" are on another level. Shout out to an old (F 14 Squadron / VF - 142 " Ghost Riders") out of Oceana Naval Air Station Va. Bch. , Va. Spent a few years growing up around those who - yas.

    A really good pilot coming downwind toward the ship, will know exactly where his cab will end up once he starts that turn based on the wind speed and direction. Other pilots will work it out as they descend; others will work it out much lower down the approach. I’ve worked with all manner of pilot and all are exceptional.

    God these videos are epic. A great insight. Would you be able to make one of the entire recovery?
    I am not too much at home with the super hornet but what would you be doing at the UFC that late. Is that for PLM?

    • @AlexBowman_Ventures
      @AlexBowman_Ventures  2 года назад +12

      I can probably do that. What part of the recovery would like to see?
      Anytime you execute a shit hot or break near the boat it is much easier (and safer in my opinion) to fly the approach turn with manual throttles because you have to bleed so much energy. Once at a decent position and energy state I clicked into auto throttles and selected PLM on the UFC. In a normal carrier pattern I would be slowed down soon enough to not have to select PLM this late in the approach! Nice catch!

      @@AlexBowman_Ventures Well, unfortunately not many videos show the mechanics from coming into the stack, hawking the deck to then leave the stack, although yours shows an amazing part of it. I as just a boring airline pilot have done a lot of research on how cyclic ops works whilst being off during COVID and have had a lot of help from your (ex) colleagues. Most of the info given was related to the F/A-18C and I am not aware of how much procedures have changed.
      I made a video of it myself ruclips.net/video/g60P1fzhcdY/видео.html which is probably just a laugh for you, but if you ever could and would be willing to make another video, then it would be amazing to see a video of a full case 1, from just before going BTN 16 when inbound to the boat.
      On a case III Have you ever flown Mode 1 or 1A Btw? Would be keen to hear about how often guys use it, or wether they rather stick with mode2.

    Very cool but there is some editing magic going on here. He breaks just over the bow yet the downwind leg shows him way out in front of the carrier. Then he is way long and outside of the groove and then magically on the deck. Still very cool, but not a single break and landing. Just my opinion.

    How long does it take to land a 4-ship in IMC? Do the other three guys hold while lead shoots the approach? I've always wondered about that. It seems obvious that you guys basically use PAR from the IP in-bound, but how close in do they vector you? I guess I'm wondering what sort of minimums you guys have in those things?

      IMC is a Case III recovery. We hold in a stack ~20mi away from the ship and commence approaches with 1min separation. The 4-ship detaches to 4 singles in the stack with each aircraft at their own hard altitude starting at 6k' and individual commencement times.
