Carrier Grades

Carrier grade medals are able to be lost and gained, depending on your performance.

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

• cut | 0 pts
• — (no-grade) | 2pts
• (OK) (fair) | 3pts
• OK (good) | 4pts
• OK (excellent) | 5pts

If 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:if at any point during the landing sequence, due to pilot error:

• The airframe was damaged in the landing.damaged.
• The pilot had a bolter of his own fault.bolter.
• The pilot ignored thea 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 with a mistake or inaccuracy.traffic.]

NO points are deducted for wave-offs!

A point must be added if:

• WindThe headwind component over deck (compared to final bearing) is less then 15 knots or greater then 30 knots
• The crosswind component over deck (compared to final bearing) exceeds 4 knots.

No points are subtracted for a wave-off, but points subtracted for other reasons during that approach will be applied to the next trap.

Only one point may be subtracted for each attempted final.

Only one point may be added for

Therefrom arethe fourbest pilot4 grades:out of the last 5 landings, pilots get a grade, namely:

• Grade D - 1 pts average. (expected from ensign)
• Grade C - 2 pts average. (expected from lieutenant)
• Grade B - 3 pts average. (expected from commander)
• Grade A - 4 pts average.

You dropgo down a grade if youyour getaverage drops to 1pts or more below the average of the grade below yours, so this should not happen.
