New Delhi: Landing fighter jets on aircraft carriers is different from landing on normal runways. Due to the limited length of the flight deck on aircraft carriers, naval pilots have to learn the skill of landing and taking off.
”Low Overshoot”: Almost there! Takes many flying sorties before a pilot is considered ready for a Trap on deck. In the video, the pilot could be seen flying the Mig-29K jet just above the flight deck of INS Vikramaditya, according to the Indian Navy, low overshoots give the pilot a feel of the approach speed, lay of the deck and the flight path, and when it is perfected the pilot is ready for the second phase.
