The scariest part is around 2:00 when he's parking at the edge of the deck. I'd be lock "no, I'll park in the middle of the deck, everyone else can just trap the first wire or bolt around me". :)
Nope, if you look on the AMPCD (Lower screen) he has the TACAN information and course information displayed to show where the ship is in relation to him and the ships heading which is called BRC (Base recovery course) and if you look on the left DDI (Left screen) you see HUD repeater page and on the HUD there is the VV (Velocity vector) and the ICLS (Instrument Carrier Landing System) needles that provides the pilot with lineup and glide slope information. Once in the groove the pilot picks up the IFLOLS (Improved Fresnel Optical Landing System) which is often called the meatball to give himself glide slide information. Considering the conditions I would say that he flew a Case II approach. Hope his helps.
Parking it looks scarier than landing it!
Lol, was thinking the same. At one point towards the end I was thinking that he got pretty damm close to the edge of the deck.
@@RavishingSailor I did that all the time in DCS, no sweat.
@@moitoi4064 lol u really comparing real life to dcs
Bus driving is the same.
After the hornet lands, watch the front of the flight deck to see how much the deck is pitching.
Ooof the old 1 wire.. damn
Huge kudos!
I like his FCF display . Definitely want to make sure no "x" out's can ruin his landing.
Wouldn't this be a case 3 landing, if so what is he looking at? It looks like a bad weather case 1 which i didnt think was a thing
Looks like at least 10 ft seas...maybe pushing 20 ft
This is a Hornet. Looks like a Super Hornet actually. Why isn’t he using the magic carpet to auto land?
Someone who knows-no guessers please- does the Navy still use TACAN Nav System for low visibility and night operations aboard carriers ??
Yes, and icls. At night they'll use ACLS thi
Never listened anyway to iron
Damn awesome.
That scary

So this guy is looking at another ship to line up because of bad vis?
