With the increase in bandwidth of modern radios then they can send a lot more information to ensure the landing is safe. If they can send real time data to the plane that includes the angle of landing deck, wind speed/direction, and it can more accurately propagate the landing path using edge computing on the plane. Predicting where the aircraft and ship will be is essential when giving an accurate landing. The more data the better Gotta increase that sample rate!

Seeing a lot of comments saying that this is just ILS or ACLS. It's a totally different system. Magic Carpet changes the control laws of the aircraft so that the stick and throttles actually perform different functions in PLM. In the standard control mode, pulling back on the stick is a request for more AOA, which slows the aircraft down, meaning you need to compensate with throttle, which changes your AOA, so you change the pitch command, etc. etc. In PLM, pulling back on the stick is a direct request for more lift without changing pitch or airspeed. Now the stick operates in a manner more similar to the collective on a helicopter: pull back and you go up on the glideslope, push forward and you sink down. Because you're changing the basic function of control inputs, this system requires a 100% fly by wire aircraft, so, no it's not a rebrand of something we've had since the 70s.

Landing is always the hardest part. Whether an aircraft can take off is quite easy to find out... but once you're up there, getting it down in just the right spot, time, angle, and speed is hard! After noticing how hard it is even in fairly simplified games like BF1942 and BF2, I long wondered how the hell they do it in real life and sure enough, it takes an immense amount of instruments and trainings to make landings as reliable and safe as they are today. Landing automation has been a critical target of automation in commercial aviation as well, with some landings being only possible with auto-landing systems (when the clouds/fog hang very low so that a visual approach isn't possible), and I'm sure it will continue to remain a key focus until it can be automated almost every time.

In my case, I had always landed the plane but for the couple of times the instructor demonstrated something. He had never had to intervene or help. So nothing was actually different, and it all went as planned. But there was that moment...... the reality became extra real. "Plan B" just got out of the plane. Forty years ago and I can laugh now, but it IS a reality moment.

Don't let anyone say this will make naval aviators soft. The improvements in landing reliability will reduce maintenance unavailability from hard landing and increase the cadence of flight operations and lead to flying more combat missions.

​@@rElliot09The OP mentioned flying lessons, so presumably at the start of their flying career. I am sure that night carrier landings are more technically demanding, but given comparative experience levels, probably equivalent in terms of stress to the pilot.

An unusually thorough and nuanced treatment of current carrier ops. It's nice to see productions like this where someone really did their homework. I would like to point out that there are still E-2 Hawkeyes and C-2 Greyhounds landing on carrier the old-fashioned, manual way. And most flight school students still obtain their initial day carrier quals in manual T-45 Goshawks (completely solo, by the way) prior to obtaining their wings. Although the Navy is moving towards starting to have those students who will proceed to fighter aircraft (F-18/35) skip the Goshawk CQ and move that first carrier landing experience to their fleet aircraft training squadron. I'm happy to see the Navy moving in this direction overall. The benefits mentioned in this video are real and significant. But at the same time, I am very proud of my 400+, completely manual carrier landings . . . even if I was occasionally terrified! Fly Navy!

nICE landing dude. No I did not specify which landing.

This is an excellent video. I learned a lot. One small fault I noticed. When talking about what could on a landing jet, you mention the angle of attack sensor and included a shot of a pitot tube which measures dynamic pressure - basically the pressure of the air being blasted down a forward facing tube so this is used to measure airspeed. An angle of attack sensor. Basically just a little wind vane sticking out the side which measures the vertical angle of the air flowing by the aircraft.

Glad you included a number of these points, since all these aircraft are FBW, they can't fly without computers or sensor feedback. We have seen digital flight systems fail when the sensors fail, and at that point, the plane can't fly because it doesn't know what to do. Thus, using this system, along with other safety nets like AGCAS is a no brainer in practice. Secondarily, otherwise-qualified pilots wash out simply because they can't land on the boat. It's sad that despite being fully awesome and capable, a person can't be qualified and has to leave the program. It's a problem that the Air Force simply doesn't have.

I miss sooo much working on a fly deck of a Carrier. My 7 deployments in my 21 years of career in the Navy were not enough!! The adrenaline of fixing Super Hornets on the fly deck while keeping your head on swivel for so long was an unpresedent event for me. Every American should live this expierence at least once in their lives.

The F-14 wasn't the only carrier a/c that had ACLS. If my memory is correct, only the prop driven a/c like the E-2 didn't have ACLS. The E-2 pilots had to fly using the "needles". If the ship's ACLS was active, needles gave the pilots a lineup indication on the glideslope, but it was not connected to the throttle or control surfaces as the ACLS was.

The work to make that backronym fit is pretty impressive too

Great questions! I should hope so. Salute to you from a retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer.

Wish I had that during my carrier career!

This software has been around since the '70s. Before it was called The magic carpet or whatever acronym you're using now it was called ILS or AILS. And airplanes have been landing on the aircraft carriers automatically for a long time. I was in avionics technician in the Navy and this was one of my skills was working on the electronics for the landing systems. The only plane had a problem with landing automatically was the EA6B prowler and the A6 and they KA6B. For some reason no matter how it was programmed the system would try to lend them in the jet engine test bay On the end of the ship. So the pilots would leave this on until balls was called and they'd turn it off and finished the last little bit of landing for those aircraft that AILS didn't work. ILS stands for integrated landing system, and AILS stands for automatic integrated landing system. AILS was just an upgrade to the ILS.

7:27 The aircraft knows where it is at all times

Learned something.

Can someone answer this for me? Why would you wanna aim for the third wire? Why not the first so that you have 3 more backups rather than just a single backup (the 4th). What's the point of the first two then?

i think one day it will mean lighter landing gear with improved envelopes of bring back also. maybe after they prove how much easier it is on the gear/airframe

So do the pilots still control the jet and the software makes control much easier OR do the pilots just catch the glideslope, engage the software and then the software does all the rest? The pilots can hold both hands up while landing so it looks like the latter is the case, but then how do they engage TOGA thrust? Is it also automatically triggered by a wheels-on-ground switch or similar?

What is happening with the landing plane at around 7:10?

that first failed landing clip was so painful to watch like the "pilot successfully rescued" note kinda gave away that it was gonna fail but the plane looked _so much_ like it was gonna come to a stop at the last second

it wasn’t what i thought 💭

This is way simpler then it sounds. All it is an easier controls. Think of cruise control in a car. When you hit an uphill, the cruise control will apply more power to maintain the space. Vice versa for a downhill. As the pilot nose down to reach the glide slope the plane speeds up requiring the pilot to pull back on the throttle(two inputs). With Magic Carpet takes car of the throttle adjustment automatically. At least one throttle adjustment if not more saved. Similar with aileron and rudder. When you apply the aileron to turn, you must compensate with rudder to stay coordinated. It sounds like there is a little extra software to the pilot pick the best glide slope and speed for the airplane and conditions. The same software could be used for air to air refueling.

they only data it needs from the carrier is speed the ship? so this could be used on an allied carrier if you carrier was sunk in war time? or would they have to land manually? if landing Manually i would be concerned with the loss off skill being reliant on the new system. they next war will be about electronics and how you can interrupt the enemies systems. If they can't land Manually that is a concern.

13:50 the JPALS is neat. But according to this video, it’s based on GPS. That worries me, because we are probably going to lose the GPS satellites in the next major war. Thank goodness for backups, and training.

Does DCS have this mode for its F/A18C module?

Magic Carpet is only available on the E/F Super Hornet, not the legacy Hornet.

Seems like they should still have it as a training requirement to land without it... And then land without it x amount of times a year. I'm sure it's mostly software but imagine if your aircraft was damaged you had nowhere else to land and you had to land manually for the first time

Why aim for 3? Why not one so you have 2 or 3 more chances?

Aiming for the first wire increases the chances of hitting the edge of the flight deck.

They get a score on their landing which is publicly displayed on the Aircraft carrier

Feels like a mustash is required to be a navy pilot.

Eventually the F-14 wasn't the only carrier a/c that had ACLS. If my memory is correct, only the prop driven a/c like the E-2 didn't have ACLS. The E-2 pilots had to fly using the "needles". If the ship's ACLS was active, needles gave the pilots a lineup indication on the glideslope, but it was not connected to the throttle or control surfaces like it was for the ACLS equipped A/C.

So what were the actual third wire capture statistics?

Wow this would save millions maybe billions in long term

thats a great Thumbnail there 🗿

Its a win for operational range, they can count on getting the planes down quickly

I see Magic Carpet as similar to the technologies introduced into cars. One of the funniest videos I saw was a bunch of kids with about 5 years of experience first driving a current car in adverse conditions and then switching to a 1980s car!

So, in other words. The navy took the software that's been in the F16 for the last 30 years and put it in the F18.

It's a bit more involved than that. I believe it's actually an outgrowth of work that Boeing did for a very wonky plane they were working on as a jet replacement for the Greyhound/Hawkeye/Viking. It was a twin truss wing design(the wings were the Radome/Sensor arrays), and it's big claim to fame was it's flight control system actively changing the flight control behavior based on the portion of flight/mission mode it was in. Even MCAS has some ties back to this, as one of its big features was also it's ability to make the plane behave as if were a different aircraft (you could toggle between it emulating a Viking, or a Prowler or Greyhound etc). Never made it to production, but a lot of the crazy active aero control that Boeing has been showing off on the Super Hornets last blocks and the F-15EX go back to that trapezoidal air whale

f-16s land on carriers?

Isnt this an ils approach ?

This reminds of an ILS landing on an aircraft with an auto throttle. Once it’s in final approach mode the aircraft more or less follows the glide slope down and lands itself.

Are pilots that failed the qualification pre software implementation getting another shot at it now? Or was that sth. like a yearly opportunity to be taken again anyway?

As a kid in the early 70s my dad told me he designed landing gear for Naval aircraft. I thought (to myself) didn't the guy who made the airplane do that already? Later as a Sailor, I realized that Navy planes land much harder than regular planes. Sometimes 7 Gs. Also note every man on deck is watching the plane come in. That is because those arresting wires tend to break and whip about, and have enough force to cut you in half. One video I watched where a deck hand leapt over a severed wire twice! That wire killed another. Most dangerous job you will ever love.

1:58 oh is that drone that just landed I want to know

Landing is always the most dangerous part of the flight. In land based aviation where the deck is stationary also. So it is not by any means trivial.

Cheers Comrade, I will have my хакерская команда on i tomorrow. Sincerely Vlad.

I Friggin _LOVE_ carrier landings in VTOL VR... but absolutely _hate_ it in DCS.... A buddy of mine back way when was _really_ good at them, in Battlefield1942 and the Desert Combat mod... and it was just a natural talent of his. By how you describe the Magic Carpet, I think this is a case of Reality catching up to videogames, a shocking plotwtist to be sure.

Why not augment the aircraft with drone landing systems?

what have I told you about drawing on the windows!

What is the point of the first two cables?

The 3rd arrestor cable is at the ideal position, but if you land short you still get a “trap” off cable 1 or cable 2. Carrier aircraft have dampers on the tailhook to keep them from bouncing around on landing which can cause a “hook skip” where the hook bounces over the wire despite being a solid approach and landing. But, those hook dampers are not flawless, so having extra wires helps.

You know the old saying: the takeoff in an aircraft is optional - the landing is mandatory. 😁🤟

what is the plane at 12:59?
