Flying F18s and Landing Onto An Aircraft Carrier? | F18 Super Hornet Simulator Vs 2 Real Pilots!!
Helllllo again friends, welcome to another fun video! Krista and I had a blast flying F18 Super Hornet simulators at Altitude Flight Simulation Centre in Calgary!! We tried combat dogfighting and also attempted to land the F18s onto an aircraft carrier.... who wants to bet how well that went!?
@AltitudeFlightSimulaton also has a full 737 cockpit simulator to check out as well!! We had a great time going through procedures & learning about the F18 Super Hornet in combat. The Instructors were fantastic and guided us newbies through the whole thing!! It's also their ONE year anniversary!!! Congrats to Tammam & the entire team!!

Just got my flight sim up and semi-running. A couple gliches yet to work out but I am so looking forward to trying the carrier landing. You gals are the best!! Thanks for your videos!
Certainly looks like a great time. Hoping both of you continue flying without any major interruptions to your careers. Thanks for the fun view in the sims. If I get to Calgary, I got to try it.
That is a sweet set up they have. Looks like you two had a blast.
If someone would have coached them to line up on the Canted carrier deck with a stabilized approach with correct speed and hook down then called for the throttle cut at the right time they both would have caught a wire on the carrier. All they needed was some info. on the procedures required. But, I loved the video , it was great fun.
@Kommentareable

Obviously noone briefed them. They should at least have known to touch down at a descend rate of 700 and wouldnt have approached that horribly low. Still muscle memory, throttle response, the wind behind the deck and lack of physical feedback would have made a proper landing improbable. And i mean proper as in following the glideslope somewhat reliably, nothing fancy
@dblgonzo
3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, there is not throttle cut on a carrier landing. The altitude is controlled by using only the throttle once you get on speed AOA. But, correct line up is crucial, if they would have had the ILS and TACAN set up correctly on the HSI they could have done a little better.

RaskD0j0 / Too fast, therefore the AOA was too low and hook while being dropped doesnt reach the wires. Also way off to the left and touch down too late. Just watch a case I approach and see
That was sooooo cool! You guys looked like you had a blast. Great video. :D
Literally was on the edge of my seat for Krista’s last carrier landing!!! I swear she missed the cables by like an inch! You guys are legends!!!!!
You put a smile on my face today. Thanks :-)
Really awesome vid. Really fun siming center there. Yea you should post the vid of you and your friend flying the 737. 737s were 1 of my favorite aircraft
What an awesome experience! Looked so much fun!. Hi to you and your friend!. Really sucks you both got laid off atm due to covid. Hoping things change for you both soon and your back up in the air. Keep safe.
Looks like a great time. Thanks for sharing. Let's see some 737 action in the sim and hopefully for real not to far down the road.
I found your youtube as I was looking for this sim/video outfit I learned about. I loved watching yall. Hats off to ya. You did way better than I did. But i haven flown in two yrs. I'm going back and do the carrier landing. I'm also a follower now. Hope yall are back in the cockpit working.
That was incredibly fun to watch. You both did really well. What a great place to have near you. Thanks for sharing.

You almost went ASMR at the beginning (which is awesome). Think you need to play some DCS too ;-)
I would love to try one of those, but as a class d sim. That would certainly make the traps more interesting .
Awesome video Emillie as always. A Pro is always a Pro!!
So cool! And I envy you for having such a great sim company nearby. I fly the F/A-18 in DCS and yeah, carrier recoveries are tricky, especially pattern ones. There's no way to master them in a matter of hours, so I think Krista did great!

The carrier in that simulator is my old FSX/P3D Nimitz/Eisenhower I did a long ago as a freeware package :) It's always nice to see it in videos after all these years, still serving virtual aviators.
It is fun to see that not only Flight Sim pilots screw up a landing sometimes :) Keep making your videos Emilie you are fun to watch...
Oh sick, I've been wanting to check this place out for a while.
Thanks for sharing, looked like loads of fun 👍🏼 be good to see the Inst360 video you mention when you suss how to edit. I've done a 737-800 in a full motion sim and landed, all from FSX flying. Well, had bit of help from 737 instructor too 😉 but really enjoyed my hour at the office.
Too much fun!! Enjoyed the video
Always wanted to check out that place! Hope you get back in your pilot seat soon!
Hi Emilie! Glad to see two beautiful diamonds of aviation destroying virtual F/A-18s on a poor flight deck! (lol). One thing you both have to remember: landing in a carrier demands a greater approach angle and a harder bump on the deck; one thing that would be unacceptable on a normal strip over soil! That is why carrier-based aircraft have got stronger legs and softer tyres... and so they don't bounce like any ground-based plane would. Their landings are "controled crashes" and are designed for that. Don't worry, I have tried in X-Plane and I still cannot!
I need one in my house! You should try playing DCS if you like MSFS. Anyways, awesome video like always!
Riiiide into the D A N G E R Z O N E~ That looks like it was so much fun. And yes to the 737 flight please!
Ça donne le goût d'essayer ce flightsim! Thanks for sharing 😁
Imagine real navy pilots with their lives on the line every day to make those landings. They are true, exceptional, gifted and talented pilots. Best of the best!!
emilie,If you allow advice, on f/a18 in landing configuration finds AoA, with the trim and keep the bracket E on velocity vector, and to adjust the altitude uses only the power handle,however you have been good
WOW That setup is incredible! Imagine having that at home!

I didnt know there was a flight simulation center in Calgary! I'm going to have do check out out next time I'm in town. (I don't live far from there.) Awesome!
Hello, you definitely need to give dcs a try !Nice video, as always (Maybe a little bit more which Krista ^^)
Can't believe you're not flying DCS F-18s in VR... and Krista.. I think I love you!
I didn’t know this type of place was available. Last time I saw a similarly configured setup with full cockpits was at a NATO training center in Netherlands (c.2000). Looks fun !
Gorgeous ladies + planes = paradise Thanks for sharing! I hope you can share more about the beautiful Pacific Northwest with us either in the sim or in real life. Greetings from Mexico!

Looks so fun, I must try this! 👍 ✈️😃

You are both awesome.
Again, happy viewing, specially your companion. Hello there. Very exciting. Wow!.
Wow that flight simulator set up is incredible
I just got into your channel and I had been a huge fan of aviation since I was 3. My dream as a kid was to be a fighter pilot in either the Air Force or Navy. I am still pursuing that goal at 27. If I don't accomplish that, I would become a flight instructor. I am looking forward to more of your videos.
.Impressive, they almost made it, I really liked that simulator. Regards.
Great video, looks loads of fun! loved how your friend pickled off a missile. But you splattered 3 times on the ground! Anyway, Carrier ops for landing is essentially a controlled crash. Gear down, hook down, and if you miss all 3 wires it's called a bolter. The carrier landing strip is angled so that while planes are launching at the front, planes can land at the back/recover. But enjoyed the video nonetheless.
Looks like fun, I'm in France ,still waiting for my new PC to be delivered, ordered back in January, the old one is 9 years old so no good for modern sims. Thanks for the videos. 👍
Does the new MS FS2020 come with F18's as an option to fly in? Maybe test it out in Flight Simulator first, and then try it again at Altitude?
Laughed so hard 😂keep up the good work!

Great video! With a F18 Carrier landing, you basically have to (relatively speaking) slam the plane into the deck, to ensure the hook catches the wire. The suspensions are made for it ;) +1 vote for the "you should try DCS" team!

We used to have one of those here, but they went belly up unfortunately. Would love to see something like that now with the new tech, the one we had was 20 years ago. Considering the visuals with FS 2020 now, they could really do some nice stuff with custom liveries.
