Pilot was working the controls! I flew with a retired Navy Captain several times and while I was on final he turns to me and says are you flying or is the airplane???? Evidently I wasn’t moving the stick, rudder pedals and throttle enough for his liking. On the other hand I learned to be a better pilot with his advice and mentoring. He was amazing to watch fly but I don’t think he ever got passed the fact that runway wasn’t pitching up and down.
So cool. I have so many questions. Someone already asked why aren’t these guys firewalling the throttles. I understand control of prop pitch but he had it all the way back you wouldn’t have full throttle . Somebody said there is no lag time but that doesn’t make sense to me. If they boltered wouldn’t they want max power as soon as they hit the deck. I saw him throttle back all the way. In the Cessna 210 you put the throttle pitch to best and use throttle per normal. Other question is at night do you still fly a normal pattern downwind base or do they fly a long straight final ? If I was these guys 1 I’d be the happiest dude on earth and 2nd I’d be happier flying those airplanes rather than an F18. Better glide to weight and slower stall speeds.
Wow. A steep approach to a short field on land is nothing compared to that. Wow again and on short final I couldn't even make out any of the visual cues a pilot normally gets to determine approach angle or rate of descent. .
Elevator trim. When he lowers gear flaps and hook during the break and the speed drops to on-speed AOA on the downwind, it requires serious nose up trim to get her stable so you can lower your work load
Fine tuning the glideslope in close, turbulent air behind the ship, ship movement, etc. You're constantly fighting to keep it on angle of attack, glideslope (4-5 ft off can mean missing wires or hitting the ship) and centerline (within 3 ft).
@@ericthurber6343 Really cool stuff! So does the prop react instantly to powerlever inputs? Or will the net power be an average of the lever modulations? I find Military, especially naval aviation, to be super interesting. So thank you for sharing Sir.
@@IHaulBoxes The props react pretty quickly, about 1/2 second or so (unlike jets that can be several seconds). The main issue is every power change requires a yaw, pitch, and small aileron correction, plus the C-2 (and E-2) aren't stable like a normal plane. That's why you get both hands and both feet all over the place on an outwardly smooth pass
When he landed he didn't firewall the throttles ...why not? Anyone know? (or am I mistaken here?) My understanding is as soon as you touchdown on the carrier you go full throttle incase you miss the wires. That way you can just fly right off the deck. It looked to me he went to idle. Not criticizing. Just an observation and curiosity.
The jets go to full power the Hawkeyes go to idle. Their turboprop engine always has instant response because it always runs at 100% power and the "throttle lever" only controls prop pitch which has no lag.
What kind of GAY 70’s stache is that.. that’s not EVEN REG oh it’s the navy ok where you can sail the 7 seas in the navy we want you we want you as a new RECRUIT ..😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Police that mustache!
@@benzzoy Ugh. Only the black guys got chits for that bs when I was in.
Nowadays? Maybe the girls do too.
Nice video. I served in VRC-30 from 93-96. Very memorable.
To land a bird that big on a carrier requires a top notch naval aviator. These C2 jockeys are amongst the best in the Navy.

I love these C-2 videos!
All these guys deserve respect and admiration.
Great video guys.
Fantastic quality as well.
Great landing!
You can see it on his face that boy was concentrating. The intense facial expression was awesome.
Cool as a cucumber. Fly like a boss. Nicely done!
I miss flying in the COD. I was stationed at VRC-30 from 2002-2005.
Excellent film footage and sound.
So much skill involved. Amazing
Pilot's really workin'!
Thanks for keeping it real and no gay disco music.
great video
Shit Hot. Shamal and the boat's in a hook. Representin' old school!

Great trap, boys!!!

At night all aircraft fly a long straight final.

Nice, dude.
Miss my foo dogs VRC-50
Awesome
This is so boss.
The "right seater" is pretty nonchalant during the whole approach!
It's the mustache.
That's my buddy from flight school. Cool bro.
I'm a novice obviously but could someone tell the purpose of the button on the left side of the yoke? He seems to be toggling it quite a bit.

Really cool video. I've seen more of these. Why do you guys modulate the power so rapidly?

Damn you guys fly CASE I Pattern in your COD?? In CVW-5 VRC-30 always does a strait in!
That was VRC-30!
like a boss
Did he forget to go full power on touchdown?
C-2 turboprop engines are constant velocity and run at full power all the time. His response in a bolter would be prop pitch, not throttle.
Great job Navy. Catch a 3 wire.

Balls
This makes me want to go fly plane now! Or at the very least go buy a flight simulator!
