@@JamesJoyce12 In my experience as an E-2 Pilot and Landing Signal Officer (waving all aircraft in the inventory) it is not a matter of easier/harder - they present different challenges. The F-18 is moving far faster and punches through the low pressure area at the rear of the carrier (known as the burble) with less impact. They, however, must stay ahead of the aircraft because of the engine response lag. If the aircraft's angle of attack is maintained, it experiences far less "sink" than the E-2. The E-2 has an 80 foot wing span and counter-clockwise rotating props (viewed from the front) which tends to walk the aircraft to the right where other aircraft are parked. Lineup, then is critical and is a constant fight. The jet that nails its start usually carries that through to touchdown. With the E-2 a good start is only "the start". You are constantly working to keep everything together (Angle of attack, Lineup and glideslope). The E-2 does not have a HUD - heads up display (yet). At night this means the Hawkeye pilot must scan the "meatball," the line-up, angle-of-attack and then drop his/her eyes down to the artificial horizon instrument to maintain wings level. The E2/C2 are the only fixed wing aircraft in the fleet that do not have ACLS (automated carrier landing system).
This guy is smooth as silk. Notice how, on cat-shot, he flew the 8-ball 90% of the time. He rarely looked out of the cockpit.. Just a glance, then back down to the AH. Total professional
I found it interesting on the launch that the pilot appeared to be all focused on instruments and not visual. Thank god for all the warriors out there keeping us safe.
@@wyatt92563 Carrier pilots have to maintain 500 foot altitude after launch until about 7 miles from the carrier, then they climb to assigned altitude. That's why they focus on the instruments.
Those young men and their colleagues are finest this country has to offer...if this nation recovers from its current tailspin it will be through the efforts of such young people.
Navy Lieutenant-Jr. Grade ... probably soon to be promoted to full Lieutenant. What were YOU doing when you were maybe 24 or 25 years old? I'll bet you didn't have a responsibility like his. Outstanding job! I sleep well at night because of ALL of you.
Obviously designed that way,but the pilot's eye line is very high compared to the panel? I'm thinking it's because carrier pilots need very good outside visibility.
The planes go through the wake of the island when landing (at an angle to where the ship is going) so some intense control input needed to work through that.
I have to hand it to the Greyhound (RIP) and Hawkeye pilots - it looks even harder to trap using a yoke, even harder if you're right handed and flying the pass from the left seat. I hope the Greyhound pilots that wanted to keep flying either went to Hawkeyes or were able to transition to Ospreys. (One Greyhound trap as a passenger; very strange sitting backwards near the aft end of the airplane and with no banks of electronic equipment to absorb the sound - _much_ louder than in a Viking.)

@@brucelaughton3108 , I've never heard of this, but also never flew the E-2. It's not necessary for most carrier aircraft - the pilot is fully capable of holding the throttles forward on their own. I wonder why this is implemented in this aircraft model.
@@miketurner7269 I think it is due to the cockpit layout. In the T-28C there was no T handle either and the throttle would have been similarly positioned as in jet cockpits. Your throttle arm would be straight forward against the G-forces. In the TS-2, The E-1B, the C-2 and The E-2 B/C/D your arm is at an angle of roughly 30 degrees. The T handle simply eases the effort of maintaining full throttle given the angle of the pilot's throttle arm.
I'm still trying to figure out how a guy in glasses is driving. Either NAEPE standards have changed since my day, or he developed a slight vision anomaly late in his training (once a significant investment had already gone into him)....
The glasses comment….I believe they need to get thru their primary training without needing them. If their eye site deteriorates they can still fly, as long as they can be corrected to 20/20.
Only tactical pilots have to have uncorrected 20/20 vision. Support pilots, helicopter pilots, and backseaters can have vision correctable to 20/20 with glasses.
JeffreyG is correct. Less lag. The T-56 engines turn at 100% rpm at all times. Advancing the throttles commands the props to take a "bigger bite" of air. This causes a decrease in rpm that is instantly resolved by the fuel system dumping more fuel into the turbines. The result is extremely rapid power response. There is no appreciable lag between advancing the throttles and increased thrust.

Yeah it was the late 80s when I tried to join. Back in the good ol days when they had the 131st TFW at Lambert Field in St Louis. They were just getting ready to transition from the F-4E to F-15s and had no need for WSOs so there went that idea. Now it's the 131st Bomb Wing and they fly B-2s at Whiteman.

I think the image got mirrored. The pilot saluted with her left hand in the picture before the launch, so in fact she is the co-pilot sitting in the right hand seat.
"Check rides" are not typically conducted at the carrier for fixed wing aircraft. There are such things as carrier qualification in fleet aircraft such as this E-2 (because you can only carrier qual on a real carrier), but the cockpit procedures would be no different than any other carrier landing. It's all about standardization, and the real aircraft carrier environment is no place for check ride shenanigans - those belong in the simulator or land-based check rides. There is a reason typical standardization check rides are virtually always conducted at the beach. No one is going to be intentionally withholding crew communications for actual carrier landings. All the approach and landing checklists were conducted prior to the landing sequence you saw, which showed about the last 30 seconds before touchdown. And you can clearly see the other pilot talking at multiple points - probably the "ball call" to the LSOs if this was CQ (most of the rest of the time there are no radio communications for daytime recoveries), and probably calling out descent rates and possibly angle of attack and/or lineup deviations internally. There is a fine line between helpful information and distracting information from the other seat, and every pilot has their own preference. But realistically, nothing is required to be said in the cockpit during those last 30 seconds, especially when there are no significant (unsafe) deviations. It's not uncommon to have NOTHING said internally OR by the LSO's for the final 30 seconds until touchdown. Happens all the time. Lack of talking does not indicate a lack of CRM. And the pilot not on the controls was clearly backing up his compadre with internal/external scan the entire way down, with multiple verbal calls along the way.
That is the Catapult throttle grip. It provides a fixed grip that the pilot wraps his/her fingers around when at full throttle. This eases the task of maintaining full throttle during the catapult launch. Once airborne, it is stowed.
