Original sentence:
When the landing gear is extended for landing the pitch will trim the AoA. Manual adjustment is required of the pitch-
trim to set the correct AoA for landing. The initial AoA trim value is taken when lowering the gear. So, it is very wise to map a trim switch to the control stick.
Corrected sentence:
The optimal approach AOA for the F/A-18C/D is 8.1°, which corresponds to the center of the E-bracket symbology on the HUD (and the orange circle on the indexer). With the landing gear and flaps extended, and airspeed below 250 knots, the Hornet's FCS will attempt to adjust pitch to control AOA. The initial target AOA trim value is established when moving the FLAP switch from AUTO to either HALF or FULL position -- this target AOA can be fine-tuned using the pitch-trim controls on your HOTAS or key-bindings, but only within a narrow range -- so it's important to engage the flaps when flying close to the optimal 8.1° approach AOA. (See also: auto-throttle approach-mode, below.)

Original sentence:
ATC APPROACH Mode – With the FLAP switch set to HALF or FULL the thrust is set to maintain the AoA when the ATC button is pressed.
Corrected sentence:
ATC APPROACH Mode – With the FLAP switch set to HALF or FULL, the throttle is manipulated mechanically to maintain the desired approach AOA (see Pitch-Trim, above) which was established when the flaps were extended, and fine-tuned by pitch-trim controls.
