Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP)
3.
High and on-speed: Reduce power to increase rate
Sg 4, fr 10
of descent and adjust nose attitude to maintain
optimum AOA. As the ball begins to move toward
center, add enough power to reestablish and
maintain proper glideslope and readjust nose
attitude to maintain optimum AOA. If the ball goes
HIGH AND ON-SPEED
high in close or at the ramp, stop the movement but
do not attempt to recenter the ball
LECTURE NOTES
Emphasize that attempting to recenter a high ball in close may
result in too steep a descent or overcontrolling the aircraft,
resulting in a low ball, early touchdown, and the possibility of
hitting the ramp at the ship.
4.
Fast and on glideslope: Reduce power. As the
Sg 4, fr 11
aircraft decelerates, increase nose attitude to
maintain a centered ball. Approaching optimum
AOA, readjust power as necessary to maintain AOA
and glideslope
FAST AND ON
GLIDESLOPE
5.
Slightly fast and on glideslope: As appropriate,
reduce power and increase nose attitude to maintain
Sg 4, fr 12
a centered ball. As the aircraft decelerates and
approaches optimum AOA, readjust nose attitude
and power as necessary to maintain AOA and
glideslope
SLIGHTLY FAST AND
ON GLIDESLOPE
6.
High and fast: Correct for a high and fast as you
would for a high. A larger power reduction is
Sg 4, fr 13
required. Reduce power to increase rate of descent
and adjust nose attitude to intercept the glideslope
When on glideslope, allow aircraft to decelerate to
on-speed and then readjust power to maintain on
HIGH AND FAST
glideslope and on-speed. Always correct for
glideslope first, then decelerate to optimum AOA
