.Approach and Landing
9. Complete the Checks Before Landing when down-wind or as appropriate to CCA. In high ambient temperatures, fly a wide circuit to avoid excursion in and out of "7th at MIL" during the final turn.
10. The aircraft should be established on the centreline and glide path as early as possible and maintained on the glide path with small throttle movements. During the final stages of the approach, the airflow aft of the carrier can induce some loss of speed and/or height, and every effort must therefore be made to avoid being below the glide path or too slow at this stage in the approach. Datum approach speed should normally be maintained by reference to the AOA system, attempting to hold 19 units AOA which should correspond to the middle of the steady note on the audio AOA system. This should give an indicated approach speed of 140 KCAS at 38,000 lb., decreasing by 2 knots per 1,000 lb. decrease in AUW. The KCAS reading for an "on speed" AOA reading may differ by up to 4 knots from the above datum approach speed due to errors in the CADC system.
WARNING:
Distortion of the audio tone may occur if XMTR is selected with either the pilot's or observer's V/UHF control selector switched to T/R +G.
11. Maintain approach power after touchdown until a positive arrestment is felt. Throttles may be slammed to MIL power after touchdown under certain conditions specified in the current NAD diagrams. Touchdown short of the wires (particularly with high sink rates) increases the probability of hook skip over the wires.
12. Carry out the Checks After Landing. If the flaps are left in the full down position, closely monitor TGT's particularly when increasing power.
13.
Wave-Off. For a two engine wave-off, slam to MIL power and maintain 19-20 units AOA to climb away attitude. For single engine wave-off, slam to MAX reheat and rotate to hold 19-20 units AOA to climb away attitude. Approximately 1/3 rudder is needed to compensate for the asymmetric thrust at MAX reheat. This is particularly important with a reheated port engine to avoid getting too close to the island.
14.
Bolter. For a bolter, slam to MIL power (two engines) or MAX reheat (one engine) as soon as it is clear the wire has not been hooked. Attempt to raise the nose on deck by using about ¾ aft stick. If the nose does not come up, it is important that the aircraft should not leave the end of the deck with full back stick applied as this can lead to over-rotation when in free air. Rotate the aircraft to flying attitude by reference to the ADI, the optimum being 14° true attitude. At no time during the rotation should reference be made to the AOA as the system lag can cause serious under-reading...."
