attitude to maintain optimum AOA. Once the ball is
centered, reduce power to reestablish glideslope
and readjust nose attitude to maintain optimum
AOA. Never accept a low ball
LOW AND ON-SPEED
LECTURE NOTES
Emphasize that a low ball should never be accepted. A low call
can result in an early touchdown and the possibility of hitting the
ramp at the ship. If the ball goes low, the SNP must make an
immediate correction.
8.
Slow and on glideslope: Add power. As aircraft

accelerates, decrease nose attitude to maintain a
centered ball until optimum AOA is reached. Then
readjust attitude and power as necessary to
maintain AOA and glideslope

you may need only to lower nose attitude to correct.

However, you may have to add power to correct for
the slow. If you accelerate to on-speed before the
ball approaches the center, then a small power
reduction will be required
