What would happen if for some reason this worked in real life, is they would strip out as much weight as possible (seats and stuff, for example) and take off at the minimum weight with as much flaps as possible. You'd be surprised how low the takeoff speed for a plane can be when truly empty!

I have flown into that airport a few times. First thing is that the approach, in my 5 times there, has always been from the opposite direction. I would like to see the take off, or even the turn around. I don't think that it would work so well. That being said, the simulator is absolutely incredible in what it looks like there. To let you know, in 2011, the last time I was there, they had a 0 fatality for any landing or take off. I hope that is still the case.

For f-18, try mainting a high angle of attack once you’re on the ground to keep more drag

[@qiyuxuan9437]

Hard to do that on F18, and F18 irl usually dont do that. But F16 can do that easily.

[@alexrox321]

@@qiyuxuan9437 why is an F-18 so much harder to flare with?

[@qiyuxuan9437]

@@alexrox321 Probably because the huge flaps on F-18, although when landing on land, they dont need to use full flaps, in that case they can aerobrake like F-16. It also relate to training, U.S navy pilots are trained to land on carriers, even when they land on airfields, their landing is still a bit different than airforce pilot, and usually dont flare(probably for better landing precision). However, countries like Australia that also fly F-18 but in airforce does flare their jets, but the nose still dosent raise as high as F-16.

With the hornet on approach, remember: throttle for altitude, pitch for speed. You should be maintaining a constant ~18 degrees nose up with around -3 degrees vvi at 120 kt and mostly adjusting power to stay on the glideslope

That's... waaaaay slow AoA for the legacy, and I have a feeling that didn't change for the Rhino. Matter of fact, Legacy should be maintaining 8 degrees AoA with a three degree glideslope all the way in. And pray you got wires, because the brakes ain't all that much.

You'd probably have an easier time with the F/A-18 if you were flying from the cockpit with the HUD since the HUD has a velocity vector, E bracket and AoA indexer on it. It'd let you put it right at the end of the runway.. Also starting with more altitude and more AoA will probably make things easier. Carrier landings are at 8deg AoA, ~130knots and -700vfpm. Can definitely go slower and more AoA and higher descent rate
