I keep forgetting to put spoilers and antiskid switch to off for carrier landings... after having it in spoiler only for cat shot...

Spoiler only for taxi
Spoiler only for cat shot
Off for carrier trap
Spoiler and antiskid (both) for runway takeoff
Spoiler and antiskid (both) for runway landing

Is this correct?

Why are spoilers open for a cat shot when you need every bit of speed you can get? They don't supply lift, as far as I know. They just slow you down, don't they? Jaw dropping detail, though. One of the best looking flight simulators, ever.

Spoilers are only up at idle, as soon as you move throttle they drop.

Don't know why but it's in NATOPS .

(This is different to maneouvre flaps...

and again different to DLC -direct lift control - which uses just the inboard spoilers on aproach for fine flight path adjustment up and down just like the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar)

Also spoilers aid a lot with taxiing, not having to use as much wheelbrake..

Yes here I'm opening and closing throttle

Nice shots Bisher! You need to find a Fitter and get some shots of that - the whole Gulf of Sidra thing

Thanks Arthonon

Of course I had to google the Gulf of Sidra thing. Interesting

Nice Maverick. She is a beauty
