      I wish dcs allowed to setup navy airfields with trap wires and ball(if it's employed on airfields irl). I find having to do carrier landing once a day just to keep the kill going. Would be nice to pick up mission from dcs forums and make important fields have trap wires for practice.

  • @NoctisAttano
    @NoctisAttano 5 лет назад +4

    Do you push the stick forward after lowering the landing gear and setting the flaps to full in order to keep the velocity vector close to the horizon until the aircraft is trimmed for proper AoA? I am looking for a proper solution to that initial lurch so I don't gain too much altitude.

    • @isaiah2261
      @isaiah2261 5 лет назад +8

      YES
      Push forward until you start to get around 140kts, modulate as necessary and try to keep the velocity vector on the horizon, once it levels out you'll start to use throttle for pitch, not the stick. Be very aware of the airspeed while holding the stick forward because if you let off it to late to start using the throttle you will nose dive. It will take some time to get used to and just keep trying. I was in the same boat as you last week when I liked your comment. Hopefully by now you have already figured it out but maybe someone else who is in the same boat will read this now.

    Did you trim your aircraft while landing to keep you velocity vector in the right AoA? And if yes, when is the right timing to start it?
    Right after the first curve, when you get your landing gear down or after the second curve when you're about to land?

    Hi Matt a few have mentioned it on here about 800ft being too low, you said it’s standard US navy procedure, my question is, thus airfield is flat terrain all around, many airports however on various maps have mountainous terrain, some higher that 600/800ft, what happens is this scenario? Surely the 800ft/350 knotts needs to be increased in altitude? Thanks in advance

    • @JohnVanderbeck
      @JohnVanderbeck 2 года назад

      The 800 feet he mentioned is radar altitude therefore it is absolute height above terrain. If the airfield is above 800 feet BAROMETRIC then you would still fly the pattern at 800 feet RADAR. Assuming the 800 feet is correct. I can't comment on that as I don't know the naval procedures (I was AF)

      @thedigitalscribe9621 2 года назад

      @@JohnVanderbeck thanks for your reply, I should of explained better, so when flying the upwind, that’s all good at 800 feet, however on the 1st turn (crosswind), and downwind, many airport terrain fluctuate as you fly over surrounding mountains and hills adjacent, the example shown here is perfect as it’s flat, but many times I’ve turned and found myself down to 400 feet due to increasing terrain height - at this point I’m just presuming that pattern landing would nit be allowed at such airports…..but there are many of them, particularly on the Syria or Persian gulf map

      It's reminds the pilot to lower his hook at the ship, and also gives the LSOs an indication at night that your hook isn't down (the approach lights on the nose gear also flash). It defaults to CARRIER but can be set to FIELD once the first generator comes online.

    Matt, just curious, wy did you make the course line 130 vs the runway heading? I'm not a fixed wing guy but but spent 20 years flying AH64's both A and D models and was in Afghanistan in 03, just curious about the thought process......

    • @futurelanguage6973
      @futurelanguage6973 6 лет назад

      130 is the reciprocal heading to the runway, meaning that when he turns for his downwind leg he will be parallel (in theory) perfectly with the runway for a precise and calculated approach-not having to deal with constantly correcting the heading until he is on his base-to-final.

    • @ah64adsweetness95
      @ah64adsweetness95 6 лет назад

      @future with nearly 5000 hours of actual logged time in an AH1 Cobra and AH64 A and D model with combat time in Afghanistan in 2003, I understand what a recip heading is. I have been in multiple Holding Patterns at a fix trying to obtain the magical 1 min inbound leg where in the holding pattern I tracked the outbound leg. I get it and i have flown in REAL time. I have flown thousands of downwind legs, i have never had my "Course to" setting as a downwind, although, we in the attack helicopter community do not perform airfield breaks but I do know how to TRACK a downwind heading......

    The jet will have an aggressive nose dive when extending flaps on downwind specially with gear down. I always have to set the throttle at about 90% just to maintain altitude. It just doesn't feel right that you have to almost go full burner just to maintain level during landings. Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

It only does it once I drop the gears. I have to go full burner on approach sometimes just to have the "doughnut" in the AOA indicator. Though I have not try flying it in Persian Golf.

      @nottoofast2013 6 лет назад +1

      Ernest Aghimien , thanks for your reply. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Having the options to change HUD display colors and intensitsies is crucially important for Hornet operations, such as during carrier landing , A-A, and A-G missions, especially under adverse lighting and or bad weather conditions. It therefore could be a matter of life or death.

  • @pestexuk
    @pestexuk 5 лет назад

    Waggs, the Hornet is said to require some forward stick after landing as the Hornet has the tendency to flair after touching down. My question is, if a short runway and you're laden heavy, do you retract the flaps and/or engage the speedbrake to help slowing down?

      If you are doing a lefthand overhead break from the right of the runway centerline (just like in a standard carrier lap or in the video), you can make sure that you "crossed" the extended runway centerline while turning crosswind/downwind and confirm that the runway is on the lefthand side when established on downwind even in case of losing visual reference.
      So you kinda make sure if you are doing an overhead break for Runway 31 that you cross the 310 radial inbound (course selector 130).
      That's how I understood it at least!

    This break arrival might be US-typical, because you'd get rekt out there in the French Navy/Air Force for decelerating during the break (first turn). If you are doing a 2-ship or more formation break arrival, the second, third and fourth guy would just slam your back faster than you could ever imagine, especially if you are at 150 kts or less during last turn.
    Procedure here is 350kts and 3g turn until downwind, then airbrakes (not for the leader)/flaps/gear out, confirm 3 greens (or BIP), then point 180 turn at 150 or 170 kts (it depends if you're in a Rafale or a Mirage 2000), THEN in final, you keep your AoA into the green.

    Haha just got this aircraft, have been flight simming airliners and GA aircraft. This approach and landing really through me for a loop. Pretty well forget everything you know about landing planes, do a hi bank hi G turn, dump gear and flaps, fly with the throttle, don’t flare, and do a controlled crash into the runway.” Wait… you want me to do what now?

    I have downloaded DCS 2.5 and the map is CAUCASUS. I`m interested on buying MONTANA map as well, but PERSIAN GULF ? Is this a new map? And I believe is easier to land on ground than on a carrier, because there is more space to little errors and you`ll not end on sea. Please make a demo landing on a carrier too.

      Manually setup waypoint using f10 map and kneeboard to find the runway heading for crs heading line. That's the only way. Don't forget magnetic heading offset. Hornet allows you to switch to true heading, which makes this type of stuff a bit easier.

    The G-Limit is 7.0 first, then it goes up and is 7.3 in the end of the video. Why is that? What changes the G-limit, and it's even higher with Gear and flaps down than in clean condition?

    • @ravtrust2872
      @ravtrust2872 6 лет назад

      The G-limiter increases G available as the jet burns fuel and gets lighter. It's not uncommon to launch with a full bag of gas and see only ~5.5G (or less) available. This prevents aircraft overstress.

      Keep your aiming point at 3-4 degrees, use the pitch latter, have the aiming point at roughly 3-4 degrees. The 750fpm will be the result of your descent angle.

I've seen this via the F2 and checking the aircraft on the outside. If i do it when you do it on the video i get a huge 30+ degree flare up. So if my velocity vector is 5º below horizon, i get a huge +25 flare up until aircraft goes below 110knots and then comes back down and speed increases. I have tried doing this correctly over 70x. Aircraft flares no matter what i do. I have to seriously push forward on the stick to avoid this and it still flies funny or it looks funny. Sorry. Trying to land as nice as you do it here.
