Carrier Ops. BRC and FB
-
I was taking a look on the nav ops manual.
I saw that the BRC (Base Recovery Course, ship course) is used as the FB (Final Bearing, landing 10 degrees from BRC). Therefore drawing a visual traffic pattern with the downwind parallel to the landing deck and not the ship course which is not how is done in real life. You will overshoot everytime if you try to use real flying parameters.
Just wondering if it is a mistake or some programming compromise.
Cheers

BRC is not the same as in real life
there was some confusion about BRC because of the angled deck and it was too late to correct it
Therefore it was compromisedThe BMS naval ops document have appropriate diagrams to clear the possiuble confusing issue
