LSO Debrief: F/A-18 Hornet Trap Gone Wrong 

Every single of one them brings something amazing to the team! I really appreciate their different, but connected backgrounds. Every podcast with the trio gives a full picture of what being in fighter military aviation is like.

Bigly. I really appreciate his humility. Despite being an incredibly accomplished guy ... just always humble.

Ace would have her parking on the nozzle.

Amen Pete!

Check the acronym Magic carpet.

​@@TangerineRentAlfragide magic carpet still needs control of the pilot. but at least its a step forward. the corrections to a landing approach have been greatly reduced, but the pilot still has to remain vigilant because corrections have to be made. thats not what i was looking for. i want a landing maneuver without human influences. like self parking cars!

maybe it could give way to better methods at some point, but if you think about the amount of carrier takeoff and landings happening on a daily basis year round for this many decades vs the among of mishaps, the success rate probably speaks for itself as far as the level of training and focus everybody has that's doing these jobs. by and large the system works which probably is why it hasnt really changed, and changing it probably brings a number of other risks or rather, it probably does change where some protocol or language is meant to be more and more clear and is constantly iterated and improved upon

@@VGJunky As I also said before, no matter what protocols or language are changed, it is outdated. It takes a completely new approach to landing on ships with 100% success without risk of accidents in the future.

@@alpagutorencik4500 at the end of the day you're landing planes on a tiny moving runway in the middle of the ocean and there will always be inherent risk associated with that. a hypothetically perfect, 100% riskless system won't ever exist, let alone one that will ever see practical usage. they do these landings dozens and dozens of times on a daily basis without incident. the protocols for it and training methodologies are written in blood - just like the majority of other human safety standards. by radically changing the system in place, you're inviting a greater failure rate than exists, hence why it doesn't change. as soon as you rely on a single piece of technology or system to get the job done, when it fails you're completely out of luck if you haven't been practicing bringing it manually like these professionals do. aviators put it into practice it day-after-day to stay sharp - and that is what makes it feasible and safe in the first place

🤨

They always call the carrier the boat.

@@Superkid2417 I know, I am retired Chief Warrant Officer, just giving the guys a little grief. 😄

Oh LOL 😂😂
