    Very nice indeed. It was interesting to get a context on the history of the "ball". Keep it up, please :)

    Top notch visual aids for explaining the system! Great video. It would be very cool to see a video on the wire arrest system too. Have always wondered how those work

    You really are the best explainer of things. I've watched the Navy's official channel and they don't do as good as you.

    Every aircraft carrier innovation into the 1950's was of British design. Angled flight deck , steam catapult , mirror landing system . First Jet landing and take off. Watching this , one would think it was the Americans

    So what is that kind of switches thing LSO holding on theirs hand?

    • @x-planed
      @x-planed  Рік тому

      Thanks. It controls the lights on the FLOLS. Also holding pickle switch above his head is a sign to the tower and the deck crew that he requests a clear deck

    I feel that this will make weak pilots but I do understand what this will do to help people land safely I think that you can relate it to shooting in ILS approach with and using auto pilot. Your still flying the airplane but your using the knobs . I prefer flying it by hand but it’s nice to have that back up.
    Conversely if you always use auto pilot I feel it weakens you and can put you in a scary position.

      That’s why some airlines require a particular number of hand held landings per month from the pilots

    The IJN adopted the optical landing system at the first.
