Real naval pilots have hundreds of landings on airports and hundreds of hours of training on the aircraft type plus significant simulator training before they are allowed to make an attempt on the real thing. Landing a jet fighter on a moving carrier again and again is simply difficult and requires many (dozens) of hours of virtual training. However many tips and techniques can be used for piloting other 4th generation naval fighters (especially NATO / American like the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet). The content of this guide is to a large extent specific to the mighty Grumman F-14 Tomcat in FlightGear.
