Effect of Wind Over Deck Conditions on Aircraft Approach Speeds for Carrier Landings
Abstract
Aircraft Approach Speeds measured during NADC photographic surveys of operational carrier landings have been higher than anticipated when compared to NATOPS recommended approach speed curves. The cause of this increase in approach speed is identified as the increase in the wind over deck, above minimum recovery head wind requirements, available during actual carrier landings.
