NEVER Cut the Throttle! The Terrifying Secret of Carrier Landings

NEVER Cut the Throttle! The Terrifying Secret of Carrier Landings

🤯 THE MOST DANGEROUS LANDING IN AVIATION! Forget everything you know about slowing down to land. Naval Aviators flying jets like the F/A-18 on an aircraft carrier do the exact opposite. The shocking secret? They keep the throttles pushed full forward as they slam onto the flight deck! Here's why they MUST maintain full power: The Bolter: If the tailhook misses all four arresting wires, the pilot must immediately accelerate off the deck—a life-saving maneuver called a "bolter." Glide Slope: Full power provides instant thrust control needed to correct their vertical path (guided by the "Meatball" lights). This isn't a landing; it's a controlled crash designed for survival. See the high-stakes skill required to pull off this terrifying feat! Did you know pilots don't slow down?
