It's actually pretty easy once you get used to it, and it will help you when it's time to land on a carrier. If anyone else has this trouble, the best advice I have is to put your gear and flaps down at 5000 feet, trim until your prograde is in the E-bracket and then practice using throttle and roll to maneuver your aircraft. **edit:** thank you everyone for your help.
I am not sure if I was doing it wrong before, and just didn't have telemetry to indicate it, or if the F-18 just takes a lot more active management during landing.ĭo other people have trouble with this? Do you have any tips for practicing landing? Managing the E-bracket is also a challenge. I didn't realize it the time, but I think with the F-5E I was much more inclined to aim short of the runway and flare on final, while the F-18 seems to be straight-in at lower speeds, with no flare whatsoever and a relatively high sink rate. I think that at least part of what's freaking me out is the roughly straight-down nature of the landing. However yesterday I attempted an island landing on the Gulf map, and waved off once then lawn-darted into the beach on my second pass. I'm not sure if I'm just psyching myself out managing the E-bracket, or if it's genuinely a difficult plane to land.
For some reason, I am having a hell of a difficult time landing the F-18 compared to previous jets. Previously I mostly flew the F-5E and A-10C. Hi all, I've recently picked up the F-18 A/C as my next module to study.
