goes high in close or at the ramp, stop the
movement but do not attempt to re-center
the ball
NOTE: Attempting to re-center a high ball
when in close may result in too steep a
descent or overcontrolling the aircraft,
causing a low ball, a hard landing, or the
possibility of hitting the ramp when landing
on the ship.
2.
Low and on-speed: add power and raise
nose attitude to maintain optimum AOA. As
the ball reaches center, reduce power to
reestablish glideslope and readjust nose
attitude to maintain optimum AOA. Add a
small amount of power to keep from going
low again. Never accept a low ball
