Fr/Howto:Carrier: Difference between revisions

pour faire simple, vous devez utiliser le système TACAN pour localiser le porte-avion de votre choix et vous aligner avec l'arrière son pont. Noter que la zone d'appontage n'est pas exactement aligner avec le cap du porte-avion, vous devrez donc ajuster légèrement votre cap lors de votre approche. Assurez-vous aussi que votre appareil est dans sa bonne configuration pour tenter un appontage (le menu "Aide > Aide de l'aéronef" devrait être utile ici afin d'obtenir diverses informations sur votre appareil, notamment les procédures atterrissages/appontages), et n'oubliez pas de déployer le crochet d’arrêt de votre appareil.

Basically, though, you should use the TACAN to locate the carrier, and line up with the rear of the deck. As this part of the deck is at an angle to the course of the vessel, you may need to correct your alignment often. Ensure that the aircraft is in the correct configuration for approach (the <tt>Help > Aircraft Help</tt> menu should contain useful data for your aircraft) and that the gear and the arrestor hook are down.

 

Setting up for approach is important; for example with the F-14 at 6nm from the carrier you should be at 1200 feet and maintain this until you intercept the glideslope at around 3 nm. At this point you will need a descent rate of roughly 800 fpm (depending on configuration). The most important part is the setup part; the aircraft should be trimmed based on the AoA indexer (orange donut). Before the 3nm mark you must have around 15degrees (indicated) AoA. It is usual to control the AoA by (frequent) minor adjustments to the throttles and an occasional minor pitch trim change as required. This is generally referred as being in the groove. To begin descending at 3nm reduce power to achieve the correct descent rate to achieve roughly 400feet descent per mile (around 800 fpm). At 1nm you should be at 460 ASL (400 above deck) Contrary to popular opinion the key thing about a carrier approach is to come in as slow as you can whilst maintaining good control.
