juimo Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Finnish F/A-18C Hornet UFC!! Is it the same like in SuperHornet? :huh: This screenshot is from this Finnish Air Force video: https://www.facebook.com/Ilmavoimat/videos/3080699948623576/?t=21 And I noticed in all my touch and go photos (2019-9-10 in Lusi) that flaps are full position also taking off!

Nooch Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Yes Finnish Hornets have upgraded touch UFC, it makes them a bit special. Flaps to full extended is probably part of their procedure for performing short take off and landing runs from improvised landing strips.

_mu110_ Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks for sharing the video, also cool to note that on top of the upgraded UFC, they have white instead of green symbology for the DDIs like the Super Hornets.

Tholozor Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 In the video you can see they've got an arresting wire set up across the road right before touchdown.

I just tried and I can stop well before the taxiway bravo (4000lbs of fuel, no wind). same conditions as you ... i have no idea .... i think i landed a bit late (middle of the black rubber) extended air brake at touch down full brakes on rudder pedal ... stood still half way from bravo to alpha too much ...

PitbullVicious Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 same conditions as you ... i have no idea .... i think i landed a bit late (middle of the black rubber) extended air brake at touch down full brakes on rudder pedal ... stood still half way from bravo to alpha I was also aiming at the middle of the black spot (tried to be fair). Once all tires are down, throttle to idle, full brakes, no airbrake, at 100 knts stick to belly.

=4c=Nikola Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Simulated touch screen doesn't feel right, no audio feedback. I would't like it in the sim. Do not expect fairness. The times of chivalry and fair competition are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcrusty Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I just have a quick comment on the title of this thread. When doing touch and go's in any jets that I'm aware of you never reconfigure the flaps or anything else until you happily climbing away from the runway/deck or low approach. So, if you slammed on the deck with full flaps you fly off the same way. Unless you meant stop and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
