Super Hornet Interview by Leonard "Viking1" Hjalmarson
	Q: What are the comms procedure for landing and launch? What will I hear? Once you have selected the correct frequency, you will be cleared to start engines, taxi to the catapult, told to throttle up and then to select burner and finally cleared to launch. On landing, there will be the typical LSO comms, “calling the ball” and talkdown guidance. Carrier Ops Q: What happens when I don't follow procedure? The deck crew are very tolerant and will attempt to get out of your way, but you can still end up running over them! Q: What happens when I crash on the deck? Will other flights be unable to land? Will the deck show the damage? Super Hornet This depends on impact speed and angle, you can die or your landing gear may collapse etc. If you do crash then other flights are unable to land, until such a time that the deck is clear. It is planned for the deck to show damage. Click to continue		CAT Launch Q: Tell me about environmental factors for the Carrier Ops. Is wind and weather a consideration? Will the carrier itself rock in high winds? There are some stunning weather conditions implemented - storms, lightning, rain, snow, night, day etc. You’ll be glad to get back on board. Unfortunately the carrier at this time is not planned to pitch and roll. Who knows, if time permits or we're bored one weekend then it might happen.
