One more thing ... when they land on a carrier, they slam in FULL POWER ... only reduce to idle when it is clear they caught a wire.

It’s baked in to NavAir that the landing is fxxked until proven otherwise.

Too bad these two pilots didn’t have that mentality.

I always assumed I would be going around and every landing was not a given.
