YES, I went through AOCS right after college in 1967 and we had all Marine DI's for our military instructions outside of the classrooms. Gave me a true appreciation of the Jarheads, um, excuse me, Marines.The Navy shut down the AOCS at NAS Pensaola many years ago and transferred all incoming ensigns to US Navy officer commissioning program based at Newport, RI. A real loss in my opinion!
You don't wait to see if you bolter, or if the the cable or hook break to power up. The moment you hit the deck you go full throttle so if you bolter (miss all cables) or have a malfunction of the arresting gear or aircraft hook you can take off after your quick touch and go.
We were taught to "fly" into the wire. When the power is reduced to a jet engine, it slows the RPM. Even if the pilot goes to full power when he realizes the he either has a Hook skip, a few seconds of delay it takes the engine to return to full power can make the difference between surviving a trap to this being your last trap. Of course, when I was involved it was in the dark ages of Essex class carriers such as Hancock. The idea that you could go to full power when your wheels touched down would compare to playing Russian roulette. You have already lost the game if you get a skip or broken cable. Broken cables always inflict a lot of injury to deck personel as well as the loss of a flight crew and aircraft.
@@MichaelRagland-yg1rc I am an enthusiast of naval aviation so its great to hear from an actual aviator. What did you fly? F8, A4? One key thing to note is when using the F-18 as an example it has very high slow state energy bleed at high alpha, so the pilot flies the throttle a lot to keep around 150 KIS and needing around 30% power to keep that speed at the desired descent rate, thus the engines are quite a bit above flight idle and will spool up quickly once the throttles are advanced to full. I don't know where 2nd and 3rd generation jets performance lies by comparison to the F-18 on approach but imagine the engines spool times were significantly longer if for no other reason than the generation gap and advancement in engine design.
WTF is an airofinisher??? It is called an arresting engine. This holds the purchase cable that is attached to the cross-deck pendant via the terminal and pin. The cross-deck pendants are replaced after 125 traps and it takes 2-3 minutes to replace one.
Love the video. US Army Special Forces here, found ourselved extridated to a carrier twice ....... best foot in the military... thanks to you Navy guys and gals.
I See US Army Special Forces here, found ourselved extridated to a carrier twice ..best foot in the military... thanks to you Navy guys and gals !!! respect
The commentary is utter garbage. Why are you referring to the aircraft as a "car" and the arrestor cable as an air finisher ? I cannot watch another second.
I to am a retired Naval aviator. This such bullshit! Aerofinisher?? Sounds like some fancy new canopy cleaner. Tell your next nugget to go to maintenance control and tell them you need a can of aerofinisher😂
The BADLY written script was generated by an AI bot using outdated source material. The arresting system on the Ford had problems. They fixed it. It works fine. The error filled script is voiced by an equally inept AI Bot. That accounts for the mispronounced words. 👎👎on this channel again!
Stop the garbage screen shots, the F 22 Raptor does not land on aircraft carriers…..can you do things properly?…..stop the false information and bullshit screenshots 🤬
There is no F-22 Raptor in this video. There are however F-35c Lightning 2 which is the naval version of the F-35 series that does land on aircraft carriers. In fact the Ford class carriers are specifically designed for the F-35 where the Nimitz class required specific upgrades to be able to operate the F-35.
Retired Naval Aviator here. I've never heard the term "air finisher." It's ARRESTING GEAR.
I served in thebS Navy for 22 years, all of it in Naval Aviation. THE THING THE TAIL HOOK SNAGGED IS CALLED ARRESTING GEAR !
When you've got no ejection seat, your motivation to pull off a miracle is heightened.
It would be nice if this person knew what he was talking about
Go NAVY and bless the USMC!

It's not an "air finisher" you dumbbell it's an arrestor cable.
Love the video. US Army Special Forces here, found ourselved extridated to a carrier twice ....... best foot in the military... thanks to you Navy guys and gals.
Did you mean best FOOD in the miltary?
08:24 "must retract the flaps" ...... one would think 'flaps' would be needed for additional lift - not retracted?
I See US Army Special Forces here, found ourselved extridated to a carrier twice ..best foot in the military... thanks to you Navy guys and gals !!! respect
"released the flaps"; "moved the steering wheel" and "aero finisher"; this sounds like bullshit.
Great video!
It's rubbish.
Very poor performance filled errors!
Get the terminology right for a start! As the plane hits the deck the pilot goes to full power and keeps it at that setting until stopped.
a snapped cable can cut a person in half
You guys put in Tom Cruise in that one shot of the plane coming in for a landing.
I did this on land, at Ubon Thailand in 1967 as Barrier crew, short runway and we had 5 different barriers on this base. Caught mostly F4's .
Today, it's a "barricade," not "barrier." WWII aircraft carriers used 4 foot high "barriers."
TOUGHEST job in the Military!!....God Bless the Guys & Gals who DO this for our Protection!
I don't know- it looked to me that the tail hook broke, not the cable.
So if the arresting cable breaks, does that mean the aircraft is no longer under arrest? Inquiring minds need to know!
Car flies to airfield??????????????
The commentary is utter garbage.
Why are you referring to the aircraft as a "car" and the arrestor cable as an air finisher ?
I cannot watch another second.
When the aircraft wheels touch the deck the throttles go to mil power - 40%.
Who wrote this crap script? It is wrong on so many levels as already mentioned.
I to am a retired Naval aviator. This such bullshit! Aerofinisher?? Sounds like some fancy new canopy cleaner. Tell your next nugget to go to maintenance control and tell them you need a can of aerofinisher😂
Don't let said nugget forget to bring back 20 yards of flight line and ten gallons of prop wash, as well! 🤣🤣

Thank God
1:29
hey, i know that guy ... unless they clone pilots ... or you are using generic stock footage
The terminology used here is idiotic.
This commentator is an absolute JERK and knows nothing about carrier landings! This site should be taking down!
One hyper sonic missiles and then they can't launch planes
Go back to playing your video game now. 😁
Video is cool but the voice is very anoying.
The voice is AI GARBAGE. Multiple mispronunciations.
Same WTF is an aero finisher? Marine corps family are grateful to the Navy. Affectionately called the marine corps. TAxi😂😂
Stop the garbage screen shots, the F 22 Raptor does not land on aircraft carriers…..can you do things properly?…..stop the false information and bullshit screenshots 🤬
You sound dumb , if you knew anything , you would know they always make variations of the same model for all 4 armed forces. Dummy .
There is no F-22 Raptor in this video. There are however F-35c Lightning 2 which is the naval version of the F-35 series that does land on aircraft carriers.
