No idea what you meant by your last statement, why ACLS can't be used? It can't be used on a severely pitching deck because it can't keep up...if you're out of cycle with the deck ACLS won't fix that.

Disregard, I miss read it. I didn't realize you said can't be used when pitching and rolling. I have have 10 landings on the big decks. It could be that the control law can't keep up.

I asked about this today. From what I understand there is a 2 second to land lock out that prevents further control changes in close, which could cause issues in higher sea states. In close with a sink due to the burble the jet can't react fast enough and will get over powered and sail past the wires; more burble the greater the affect. The new control.laws, majic carpet, will incorporate DLC and could easily overcome this issue and the 2 second lock out would not be required. F35 already has DLC and could handle this as well.

Not exactly, F-35C Integrated Direct Lift Control: How It Works | Defense Media Network
Direct Lift Control. It is not new, the Tomcat used it and others.

OK - I have to laugh at mentions of JPALS again and calling E/Fs "legacy" aircraft.
And andrewtac - - - your response to WhistlePig (especially regarding his fleet aircraft) makes me think that you don't understand his "press to land" comment.
Do you remember during your own CQ that in-close wiggling of the stick to stay up on the power but trying to kill that little bit of lift at the ramp by 'stiring the pot" being called 'poor man's DLC'?
Did I get that all right WhistlePig?

Personally I'll wait to apply the Legacy label to E and Fs until the others at least make the fleet in appreciable numbers.
You didn't mention JPALS, the article you linked did.

WhistlePig can explain DLC from a user's standpoint better than I since I've only used the poor man's version.

I re-thought Rhino is legacy after I hit submit. I don't think there is a defined DOD term for what legacy actually means. I asked a couple folks and got different answers.
