sorry but a lot of this info is wrong. for takeoff, after going over the ramp retract your gear ASAP, you wont need it again since there is only water under you, not more runway. for landing, the initial approach is accurate, but get in the habit of flying slower (500kph) before deploying gear, aerodynamic break effects may be modeled in the future. for final approach, follow the meatball-lineup-angle of attack-repeat workflow: meatball: the lights that shows up on the left of the carrier deck. it shows the correct glideslope to follow with the yellow ball in the middle. when it is below the green lights, gain altitude. when it is above, reduce altitude. lineup: your left/right lineup to the runway, not the carrier. the flight deck is angled, remember that. angle of attack: on the left of your hud you see the >o
oh and if the lights are red on the left that means go around, can be because of a bad approach of a foul deck, which means another aircraft entered the runway, in that case abort immediately to avoid striking it
@@ProbablyHarmless i think funky landings are OK as well but you should at least keep your speed right to avoid trapping but then not having the space to stop

when it is above, reduce altitude.

angle of attack: on the left of your hud you see the >o
forgot to say that moving carriers are actually easier as you have more reaction time since you essentially habe 50kph more airspeed
oh and if the lights are red on the left that means go around, can be because of a bad approach of a foul deck, which means another aircraft entered the runway, in that case abort immediately to avoid striking it
i was trying to do a more simple doctorine focused aproach to make it easyer for beginers but yes this is all accurate
