Once FlightGear has started, you should ensure that the parking brakes are off, ease the plane a little way down the catapult pressing ``L' to engage the launchbar (this might be best done from an external view initially.) You should notice the aircraft being pulled into alignment with the catapult and see the strops appear and hold down the aircraft.  This will only happen if your aircraft is close enough to the correct spot on the catapult; as a rough guide, for the default parking position the seahawk's nose should be rougly level with the deck observation bubble.
