CARRIER LANDING PATTERN
Once you’re established downwind with wings level, descend to 600 ft, slow to optimum AOA, and retrim
as necessary. Perform your AOA/airspeed check and complete your landing checklist. Pay particular
attention to your configuration: landing gear down, flaps full down, slats extended, speed brakes ex-
tended, hook up initially for 2 touch and go landings or as directed by the LSO, anti-skid off, and harness
locked.
