How are getting HUD to look like this in the Bug?
-
All because I lowered my hook by lowering my tail…never did that again.
Yessir, also why you don’t abort at the ramp by pitching up but, rather, by going to “GQ” on throttles.

Yup. I always go to max power at touchdown no matter what, and if the wire stops me then I pull the power off as the roll back slows.
BTW…did you ever get an answer to you original question about full HUD symbology? If you have the option for REJ modes, the switch needs to be in NORM.

Cut me some slack it was my first carrier landing in the Hornet jk. I was shocked I even caught a wire.
It’s funny because in the video Agave Blue (Flounder) says something like “abeam, gear down, hook down, 4.6”. Having never done a carrier landing before I had no idea what the 4.6 meant (his fuel) so I just repeated the same thing. Later Agave was like “you had the same exact fuel as me?”
viper pukes……;)

If you hit the numbers and stay on-speed you can ignore the lens for the most part…especially if you’re using needles.
Absolutely not. You strive for altitude benchmarks at the 90, the 45, and rolling into the groove but once you are in the groove it is almost always a visual approach using the ball unless you’re clara ball. IRL inside 1/2 mile the ICLS needles are extremely inaccurate and can’t be used for accurate landing guidance.
You are probably thinking of the ACLS needles which are not used for Case 1/2 recoveries. Flying a Mode I ACLS approach (AP coupled to ACLS all the way to trap with ATC APP enabled) is relatively rare in the fleet. Mode IA is more common in which the AP is disconnected at the ball call and the rest of the pass is flown manually, although ATC can remain enabled at the discretion of the squadron CO.

I wonder if we will a functional ICLS in BMS…

so the call might be something like “Stinger 06, Hornet ball, three green, hook down, 4.6”
Ball calls are no longer made with full callsign or gear/hook down callouts as this is done at the abeam call. The method used currently is MODEX, TYPE, BALL, FUEL STATE which would be something like:
“206 Hornet ball, 4.6.”
The aircraft types are Hornet(Legacy Hornet), Rhino (Super Hornet), Grizzly (Growler) Prowler, Hawkeye, and Greyhound
Sometimes it’s “state 4.6”
AFAIK state calls are only made to CATCC when declaring low state when entering Freedom Marshall and there IS a difference between that call and the fuel state call you make at the ball but I can’t remember off the top of my head what it is. I’ll ask.

OK-3…nice flying.
I would have graded it as (OK)4 TCA LIG LOX (SLO)CIM (SLO)CDIC (LO)(SLO)AR
But it’s all moot anyway since the boat wasn’t sailing into the wind :rolleyes:

And no island burble to plow through.

And no island burble to plow through.
Pretty easy to add one though. Just add a layer of mild turbulence at ~170 feet. It can be pretty exaggerated at times but overall makes passes at the boat more enjoyable IMHO.

Hmm, I like my Ramp Roast medium rare.

Just to follow up regarding the fuel calls…
When entering Freedom Marshall (CATCC controlled airspace) you will declare a state which is the lowest fuel state of any aircraft in the flight. The associated comms: “Marshal, 304 and 303 checking in 315 for 30, angels 12, low state 6.5”
If CATCC asks you to “declare state” you would say something like “10.5 over 5.0” which is total fuel remaining over pre-briefed bingo fuel for your flight. If they say “say state” you just reply with total fuel remaining using 2 digits without a “state” call. Simply say the numbers, i.e. “ten five.”
When you are called by paddles at the abeam position (“Paddles contact” …Case 1 and 2 recoveries only) you declare your state above blue-water-ops bingo so CATCC knows if they need to vector you to a tanker if you waveoff or bolter. Blue-water bingo is around 4.0 for Rhinos/Growlers, 3.5 for Hornets, and 4.5 for Prowlers and varies with conditions.
When you call the ball you give your total fuel remaining using two numbers in thousands and hundreds just like the response to “say state.”

…great gouge, Rybo.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I’m having the same issue as the initial post, where the HUD is cut off around the edges. There’s a solution on the first page but one small problem-I don’t have TIR. Any other options for getting the whole HUD to fit?
