How F-35 Fighter Jets Land In A Big Storm On An Aircraft Carrier

Navy pilots will tell you that not the takeoff from an aircraft carrier but the landing on a flight deck is one of the most difficult things they have ever done. Especially in a big storm or a hurricane. The runway space available for landing planes on the flight deck is only around 150 meters in length, which is not even close to being sufficient for the heavy and high-speed jets used by U.S. carriers. Even with such a little landing area, we had witnessed combat aircraft like the F-35 land safely on an aircraft carrier while a severe storm was occurring. How is it that the F-35 fighter jets can land safely during severe weather conditions?

Before beginning their final "glide slope" landing approach, fighter planes will typically do a sharp bank turn over the water to position themselves directly with the deck of the carrier. The process of landing an aircraft on a carrier is difficult, complicated, and fraught with risk, particularly when there are strong winds, rough sea conditions, or when it is nighttime; however, it is routinely accomplished with a high degree of accuracy thanks to the training and precision of the pilots and advanced technology that new fighter jet now possess.
Pilots follow a light on the carrier deck referred to as the Fresnel lens to gain proper alignment as they reduce speed, align the nose of the jet and lower onto the carrier deck. This helps the pilots achieve proper alignment. When the lens is "centered" appropriately, pilots know they are getting in the proper position for the approach. Should it be found to be out of alignment, they will likely need to correct it before continuing.
