  • Navy LSO WOMBAT breaks down a harrowing F/A-18 recovery.
    Every Monday at 8PM ET, Mover (F-16, F/A-18, T-38, 737, helicopter pilot, author, cop, and wanna be race car driver) and Gonky (F/A-18, T-38, A320, dirt bike racer, author, and awesome dad) discuss everything from aviation to racing to life and anything in between.

    Excellent video Gonky and Wombat. Great analysis and explanation Wombat. 50+ years ago I would watch the PLAT in the Ready Room and comment like Wombat said. It was what we did to rag each other in good fun. The LSOs would come around after each recovery and tell us the truth about the pass!!!! The Greene Board would tell the tale.

    This is why I respect flight crews, but most especially, naval aviators. They are simply a different breed. Things can go hairy and sideways awful quick. Can't imagine a nasty dark night when the deck is Dutch rolling and as it's been said, you've got snakes in the cockpit.
    Mucho respect.

    Interesting. After going through TPS and being at pax for a while we moved back to VA Beach. I thought dad was back in a squadron but i recently learned he was "ship's company" and was an LSO, hosted visitors, and whatever else that role does. I still don't know what ships company really is. Maybe you do?
    After that tour we went to eglin for exchange duty where he did more test pilot work.

    Once the plane has made its last turn and is coming straight in for the deck, is the pilot supposed to be making adjustments based on his judgment or just doing what the LSO tells them to do?
    It would seem like, if they're both making adjustments they could cancel each other out or get compounded adjustments.

    the way used now to land planes on ships sounds more like an outdated communication arrangement where one person can't really tell what the other one means. there must be another way to feed the plane and the ship separately into a system that eliminates the chance of human error and enables safe, data-based landings. this will also benefit the pilots and eliminates all the stress of landings. türkiye is building its first carrier, maybe we can find a new safe way to land our kaan on the ship without this LSO nonsense. time will show!

      ​@@TangerineRentAlfragide magic carpet still needs control of the pilot. but at least its a step forward. the corrections to a landing approach have been greatly reduced, but the pilot still has to remain vigilant because corrections have to be made. thats not what i was looking for. i want a landing maneuver without human influences. like self parking cars!

      maybe it could give way to better methods at some point, but if you think about the amount of carrier takeoff and landings happening on a daily basis year round for this many decades vs the among of mishaps, the success rate probably speaks for itself as far as the level of training and focus everybody has that's doing these jobs.
      by and large the system works which probably is why it hasnt really changed, and changing it probably brings a number of other risks
      or rather, it probably does change where some protocol or language is meant to be more and more clear and is constantly iterated and improved upon

      @@VGJunky As I also said before, no matter what protocols or language are changed, it is outdated. It takes a completely new approach to landing on ships with 100% success without risk of accidents in the future.

      @@alpagutorencik4500 at the end of the day you're landing planes on a tiny moving runway in the middle of the ocean and there will always be inherent risk associated with that. a hypothetically perfect, 100% riskless system won't ever exist, let alone one that will ever see practical usage.
      they do these landings dozens and dozens of times on a daily basis without incident. the protocols for it and training methodologies are written in blood - just like the majority of other human safety standards. by radically changing the system in place, you're inviting a greater failure rate than exists, hence why it doesn't change.
      as soon as you rely on a single piece of technology or system to get the job done, when it fails you're completely out of luck if you haven't been practicing bringing it manually like these professionals do. aviators put it into practice it day-after-day to stay sharp - and that is what makes it feasible and safe in the first place

    Ships, not boats. Boats go under the water, ships do their best to stay on top. It really isn't as 'cool' as you think it is to refer to US Navy Ships as boats.
