Carrier Grades

A landing sequence will be graded with points, according to tactical paddles discord bot grade of your trap: 

 

 cut | 0 pts 

 — (no-grade) | 2pts 

 (OK) (fair) | 3pts 

 OK (good) | 4pts 

 OK  (excellent) | 5pts 

 

 In the unlikely case that a landing was attempted but ended up in a crash, 0 pts will be applied, unless the pilot was not at fault, in which case the landing will not be graded. 

 A point must be subtracted if at any point during the landing sequence, due to pilot error : 

 

 The airframe was damaged. 

 The pilot had a bolter. 

 The pilot ignored a LSO wave-off call with enough time to react. 

 The abeam distance was more than 1.5 nm or less than 0.9 nm (5460ft). 

 The pilot impeded traffic. 

 

 NO points are deducted for wave-offs! 

 A point must be added if: 

 

 The headwind component over deck (compared to final bearing) is less then 16 knots or greater then 32 knots 

 The crosswind component over deck (compared to final bearing) exceeds 4 knots. 

 

 Only one point may be subtracted for each attempted final. 

 Using the average score taken from the best 4 out of the last 5 landings, pilots get a grade, namely: 

 

 Grade D - 1 pts average. (minimum for ensign) 

 Grade C - 2 pts average. (minimum for lieutenant) 

 Grade B - 3 pts average. (minimum for commander) 

 Grade A - 4 pts average. 

 

 You go down a grade if your average drops to 1pts or more below the required average for your grade.
