For any pilot landing his aircraft smoothly is a challenge but normal pilots come nowhere near their naval counterparts naval pilots have to land their aircraft on a moving aircraft carrier which is the supreme challenge for a pilot airman ship because of the landing procedure so naval pilots are considers a special breed among pilots.
Normally an aircraft after landing runs over the runway sheds off the enormous momentum slows down and stops but the flight deck of a carrier is not even one tenth the length of a runway. So.So the air craft has a to be arrested and trapped to stop its momentum all aircraft belonging to carrier have a hook known as a tail hook beneath their tails during landing pilots touch the runway such that the hook snags a thick arresting cable presents on the flight deck.The pilots has an error margin of just centimeters if missed the pilot increasing powder takes off and makes another attempt.
Now comes the next aspect of the challenge the runway is not only short but also unstable it pitches up down and rolls left right the pilots has to land guessing hoe the running will moves and then land accordingly the pilot has to guess that is just fractions of a sec during landing the pilot first aligns the aircraft to the cent reline of the runway from an altitude and gradually seventeen at a constant speed in a shallow angle it is called approach in the meantime if the flight deck pinches up the pilot nudges the throttle to increases speed and hence altitude and vice verse similarly if the carrier yaws the pilots adjusts the aircraft accordingly and may here to make more than such adjustments during the approach.
Further landing at night time on a very short runway of a minimally lit carrier which is pitching rolling yawing and sliding is nerve shattering and a mortal challenges an error caused due to the pilots judgement may cost not only hos or her life but many other lives and also many aircraft.
Previous generations of pilots had only two optical clues to align the aircraft with respect to tge carrier and then land safely.The first was called Fresnel lens optical landing system for vertical positioning of the aircraft the second was called center line lights for horizontal positioning of the aircraft but modern day pilots have an electronic and called precision approach landing system.
is it possible to any landing safeties in air crafts and any job opportunities in air craft
ReplyDeleteYes it is Possible to landing Safties in Aircrats and There is lot of opportunities in all over in world
