Disclaimer: This tutorial is not perfect, I'll probably re-do it at a later date once I get more familiar with the aircraft and its procedures but I hope it helps you guys out. Please forgive any mistakes.
This is seriously one of the most brilliant Case 1 landings I have seen on UA-cam, can't tell you how many times I've watched/studied this. One thing that blows my mind is how the heck do you get on speed and trimmed out so fast after completing the initial 180 break back towards the carrier?! You get dialed in so quickly and so precisely! Is there heavy use of DLC, or is that purely from trimming and managing throttle? I always run into the issue with struggling to keep the nose from taking a huge dive and losing too much altitude after completing the turn and trying to get on speed. Never quite sure when to get back on the throttle and how much to give. You do it flawlessly man, so many things happening in such a short window of time! Truly impressive! Cheers!

Gotta love all the info the reapers put out, just frustrating how you can't get through a video without finding 3 mistakes pointed out in the comments. Doesn't help that half the videos are shot in early access either.
In the fleet out on deployment or doing work-ups with the CvBG, most of the time there will be a guard ship stationed 1000yds directly aft which in addition to being there to pick up anyone who goes in the drink is also there for a quick indexing while landing. You should be coming out of the 90 just forward of the duty guard and is especially useful while doing quals.
Wow, your tutorials help a lot! Much better than other tutorials (looking at you Grim Reapers) I still only catch 4-Wires, but hey Jester and I are still alive
I found this tutorial informative and easy to listen to. The humor caused me to chuckle in places! I think a perfect combination of info and fun. Thanks for creating it!.
You seriously need to upload more content. After your Harrier landing tutorial, you're my favourite "instructor" in DCS. We NEED more content from you! :)
6:40 That very important wing sweep as you pass the ship...... the chic on the deck might see it........ man that is hilarious :) I've just begun to trial the F-14 once again; your talent as an instructor is huge. One of my favorite documentaries of all time is "Speed and Angels" (available now on UA-cam), about the last two US Navy pilots trained to fly the F-14........ as I'm following your tutorials I appreciate even more the challenges those pilots faced.
“In case there’s a woman on board..” Me: where is he going with this? “We want to make sure we look as cool as possible, like cool volleyball players.” Me: ohhhhh nice xD good one lol
You just helped another newbie learn to Case I. Brilliant video tutorial. Easy to understand if you know how to fly the Cat even with rookie skills. I'll be sure to share this with people who want to learn right away!
Bruhhh you make that look so damn easy and after starting dcs this weekend past I know it is gonna take a lot of practice to get to that point but this video helps TREMENDOUSLY! Thanks Mav! Keep up the good flying!
I think this is the best Case I recovery tutorial on here. I used to do these over and over with the F-14 mod (F-15 cockpit) a couple years ago, ready to jump back into DCS for the Cat. I was an 80's kid, this module is a dream
You can also see the DLC popped up in the mirrors, no need to give your neck a cramp. I give them a quick flick up and down to make sure they're operating properly while checking the top mirror myself. Great vid!
Great video, I appreciate it! Getting in speed in the downwind is the sticking point for me. Feel like I trim too much nose up and end up floating to too high an altitude, need more practice I guess
Question: You are not using auto throttle in this video correct? Also, on the final turn towards the back of the carrier how do you keep your onspeed AOA so perfect? Are you primarily managing throttle, or constantly trimming as well to keep the E bracket centered? Much use of DLC? My issue is that right at the last second when I level out from the turn just as I'm about to reach the deck my AOA goes totally out of whack. Do you have a recommendation in terms of keeping it simple / focusing on just certain control elements and leaving others alone? I think I might be messing with too many things and making it overly complicated. But at the same time, every adjustment with the Tomcat then requires re-adjustment of some other area. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much! Still the absolute best Case-1 vid in the Tomcat on UA-cam, hands down!
Nice landings! I remember watching your F-18 case 1's. Looks like all that Hornet time has really helped, these landings look a lot better than your initial Hornet attempts :)
id love to see the input visualization (the ctrl+enter one). Id be nice to get a rough idea for how much power/roll/rudder is used, it'd def help me land
one of the carrier checklist landing that is missing is to turn autoskid off because in many cases it is on, beautiful video, i think im good enough already after 3400h of DCS but i always learn, i always have this habit landing to early and catch the first or second wire, i feel my landings are good controlled , centered and safe, but it is a habit that i need to change....dam i keep doing these "perfect " landings, always on speed but i have this tendency to touch down some feet earlier.
Just FYI IRL if you rested your hands on the throttles while engaged it would only take 5lbs of pressure to disengage them. It was actually a check we did often for auto throttles so resting your hands on them was probably not a good idea.
I swear to fucking neptune my AOA never stays the same, I'm gonna trim it, then 5 seconds later it goes off trim, there's gotta be seagulls playing with my tailerons or something
Gentlemen, I am happy to announce that shortly after making this comment, I have indeed mastered the F-14 at landing, and it's never been a problem since, I even get 3 wires! It's doable guys, you really just gotta tame her that's all, or maybe she tames you..
This is my first module purchase on DCS since I’ve always been interested in it but I didn’t really feel like emptying my wallet but since the F-14 has always been my all time favorite plane, I had to get it and since I’ve never flown properly in DCS I’m super bad, although I did get my first carrier landing last night (albeit super rough) I’m pretty hyped for getting good at the f-14 over the next few days/weeks
Cheers. It’s great having these guides ready for launch. I’m probably still going to spend the first few hours, threading her in between Dubai’s skyscrapers though 🤣🤣🤣
Perfect, Awesome, amazing, informative and TO THE POINT! Great job! Liked and subscribed. I hope there are some volleyball loving hotties on the carrier next time I sweep my wings and do a perfect CASE I thanks to you!
Serval question maverick 1 how do you maintain on speed whilst the rpm is around 90%, for at 90% rpm the aircraft would accelerate for which would rise the E bracket over over 10 AoA making it unreachable , for me is usually 85%~86%rpm 2how do you ensure stable banking and on speed while the aircraft is in 120 knots extreme low speed, and still having steady glide slope 3 the dlc is highly disruptive to aoa and on speed, but in you video, there is no such sign 4 in manual, dlc are designed to control sink rate without using throttle, did you use both throttle and dlc on on final approach? If is, how do you still ensure sinking while having an 90% high rpm? if you don’t mind, please consider remake a video that could show your stick movement as well as the mirror to help us learn about your control. you have so far the BEST carrier landing in UA-cam
- How do you set the course line (boat direction)? - So you just move the stick slightly up down left right in auto mode? I have to try that... - Except looking good and impressing the girls on deck, why manual and 68 degrees wings?
-There's a course knob on the HSD frame -Basically what we shouldn't do in the Hornet... :D -It adds drag while pulling AoA and you want to slow down in the break
I know this video is old, but it's really great to watch someone do this and have them slowly explaining things out at first and speed it up as the procedure goes on. A lot of the stuff for this procedure just barely made sense because in most cases it doesn't seem like you should have a speedbrake for landing, rely so much on weird flaps and stuff to land but seeing it in motion it makes much more sense. I know this video is old, but I do have a question. Do you possibly know why the procedure asks for wings swept back so far on the approach? Wouldn't it make more logical sense to have the wings forward for lift and to slow down? I don't know, just has always seemed odd.
You make this look easy and I feel completely incapable-Meg laughs at me every time and Joker is constantly telling me to tell his wife and kids he loves them. ughh.
Try flying this pattern at altitude like 5800 ft with 5000ft being the deck a couple times. Should help with trimming and pattern checkpoints before smacking into the water
Awesome freaking video. Just landed my first F14 on the carrier but came in way to hot and low. LSO marked me for no proper communicaiton also. Now I know.
Love your video. I tried exactly how you described it and ended up head butting the ship more often than not. Keep your awesome work up. I will improve
Mav, this is a great video. I'm working on my traps now, trying to get more proficient at them. The main issue I'm having is throttle control. I want to get good with manual throttles befor letting AUTO take over. The only thing I want to see in videos like this is a repeater for your input, so guys like me who can't quite get positions right can see where you are putting the controls at certain moments. I'm loving the 'Cat, she really needs finesse and I'm working still on calming down my inputs. I suppose the smarter thing to do would be to try landing on solid ground first >_>
@@104thMaverick That would be great! I got my first couple 3 wires today but I went way outside NATOPS and started on the groove more like 1.2nm out instead to give myself more time to get the bird where I wanted it to be. I can get everything else sorted, but in the final 90s I tend to get swallowed up chasing the E bracket and trying to balance engine power with DLC and everything else.
You make it look so easy. I find the tomcat very difficult to control when on speed. What curve do you use? X52 @25% all axis is not working so hot for me lol
Funny thing is I got better when I realise the pitch ladder isn't the same as the hornet. In my practice I forced it to a -3 glide slope and accident happen. This pitch ladder thing is very confusing when there isn't any tutorial for it.
Great instructions and a positive approach to your direction. It's my intentions in the near future to be proficient with the Tomcat, it would really help me if you could give me a recommendation on the computer size or proper graphic card, RAM ect. Looking forward to more instructional video. Good video
My specs are listed in the description if you want to take a peek sir. RAM wise I highly suggest at least 32GB if you can stretch to it, DCS can be very RAM intensive and having only 16GB can be a slight handicap in certain servers or missions.
Great vid, Maverick. The Top Gun sound bytes were ON POINT. Couple of quick questions: 800ft should be AGL, and not MSL right? Is it like the hornet with regards to keeping on speed AoA, by using trim to set AoA and using power/dlc to maintain altitude/descent? Or is that just a fly-by-wire thing?
Yes mate 800ft should be the radar altitude which is AGL over water. I messed up in the video and flew the Baro Altitude instead of the Radar Altitude. There is no Fly By Wire in the Tomcat but it is the same process of getting on speed as the Hornet, you slow down and trim to get the aircraft on speed at the correct AoA and use power and trim to stay on speed.
@@104thMaverick Ok, right on. Yea I knew about the tomcat not having fly by wire, but just wasnt sure if flying on speed would be different because of that. Thanks for the reply man!

Thanks for the reply man!
please add the control window with your next one. It will help a lot to see what you do with the controls
Do you have to use the DLC to help descend in the groove while using AUTO throttle or is it enough to be on speed to descend?
I am also trying to figure this out. So far just using AUTO throttle on the F-14 has not being as useful and reliable as the Viggens Auto throttle.
