Carrier training

working as a "land-based carrierland training area"? Eventually equipped with
the catchropes used on carriers. So there would be a training possibility for this
without the danger of crashing against thousands of tons of solid steel and then be
found like 60 years later on the ground of the ocean.
I think it also has been practiced like that in history.

I just got done reading a book about a U.S. Navy fighter pilot who describes training in this manner. They had a signal officer that would guide them in, and they'd have to land within a given, painted area of a runway. I think they even had cables to try and catch. I too would find this interesting and realistic. The point being, you get to practice, but if you fail, you don't explode or destroy the airplane. Again, realism is the best gain.
