Instructions:

AG1 - Jettison Bomb
AG2 - NAV Lights
AG3 - Arresting Hook
AG4 - Jettison Gunpods
AG5 - Airbrakes

Carrier Landings

• Begin the approach at 22% Throttle.

• When nearing 600 ft (182 m) and a distance of 1 mile (1.6 km) from the carrier, extend the airbrakes, arresting hook, and deploy flaps to 100%. By then you should be on 90 - 70 mph (144 - 112 kph).
  

• Make adjustments where necessary and if you did everything correctly, you should be able to perfectly snag that coveted third line.
  

New Features

• You can now jettison the gun pods. Trading the excess firepower for better maneuverability and less drag.
  

• Airbrakes
  Why? Yes. They also help with carrier landings, and adds a little more complexity to the aircraft. I just like the idea.
