      except the speed of one of the two objects (the plane) is such that the speed of the ship is almost 0 relative to it. so I think it’s harder catching the right arresting cable than actually aligning with the carrier

    • @OneTequilaTwoTequila
      @OneTequilaTwoTequila Рік тому +5

      @@AlexdAviator You're on the right track with relativity, but the speed of the carrier is NOT almost zero relative to the speed of the plane. If it was, they'd have the same speed, and the plane would never catch up to the carrier. If the speed of the carrier was 20 knots and the wind was blowing at 25 knots, then the 'relative' approach and touchdown groundspeeds of the plane would be reduced by 45 knots vs. a no-wind approach to a land runway. Headwinds help, and the speed of the carrier into the wind helps additionally.

      A navy fighter pilot is no less than a lieutenant. Need a four year degree and 6 year service minimum to begin simulator training. Usually 33-34 years old at first solo flight. Even higher for ships deck. Generally 10 years of flying then become commanders. It's a 20 year inlist minimum.

      ​​@@jaydensdream714on't they start training from the moment they to military college? If they go in at 18, graduate at 22 then it's feasible they could be training in jets by 25. I knew a guy in England that joined the RAF in the 80s and he was flying Jaguars after only a couple of years going from a single prop trainer to a twin then to fighter. There was no degree perse you just went into officer training at the airforce equivalent to Sandhurst i believe. It's moved more to a bachelor degree in pretty much everything now so it doesn't surprise me if it takes longer to get into a jet or any military aircraft but I've seen American fighter pilots that are Still in their 20s. There's no long enlistment required that not true not sure where you got that from; Commercial airlines in America have loads of ex military guys and gals in their 30s the same with many countries. You can't fly combat in fighters after about 40

      @@glennoc8585 I never said there are enlistment requirements. Generally speaking you can't enlist for flight training that takes 30 months if your only enlisted for the next 30 months that's all. Along with that I'm just referring the the general rule if someone is a fighter pilot then there enlistment is for 10 years minimum. Most pilots fly 2-3 Yeats them go on to civilian life but a vast majority continue being training pilots or perhaps officer training. Also vast majority go on to be commercial pilots for one reason, money. 60-70k most you make but pilot for UPS makes 200k easy...

    A friend’s son is a retired F-14 pilot he now flights 737’s for Southwest. The 1st time he had a FAA check flight ride along was a night flight from Phoenix to Seattle. Sea-Tac was socked in and was at minimum visibility at best . He had zero visibility on finial approach at about 1550 feet he said he caught sight of the lights and called it. At 1500’ he would have had to wave off. When they got on the ground the FAA guy told him that ex-Navy pilots are scary, no emotion and ice in their veins. He never told the guy how nervous he was having him looking over his shoulder. lol He said that was a piece of cake compared to hitting the deck of a carrier at night in bad weather.

      He had plenty of time. The birds stack in the pattern and usually approach the boat downwind along the port side before hooking left and lining up with the LA. As long as he's go with fuel onboard, airspeed, flaps, gear, and hook, all he has to do is guide it and adjust throttle. It is quick, but a few seconds can last a long time.
      It's like when you come to a stop at an intersection in a car. You are steering, letting off the gas, and applying the brakes quite quickly with minor and gradual adjustments which you have practiced sufficiently to stop the car smoothly behind the line. Or at least I hope you're a good enough driver to do this.
