Thumbs up Steep and slow

I Like the steep and slow approach, it requires less handling of the aircraft and losses in thrust due to cyclic inputs. If the cojos are having difficulty seeing the deck, offset to the right and make the approach to the edge of the deck until the last 40-50 feet. Slide gently across in the latter stages. this has the benefit of an uninterupted go-around should it be required. Fly safe Charlie..
