-* 25 knots refers to the wind over deck. 25 is normal. If there is ''more'' than 2 kts crosswind, the LSO will mention that too. Between 3-4 kts starboard is called "axial". For instance: ''"25 knots, 3 knots axial"'' or ''"25 knots, 5 knots starboard"''.
+* 25 knots refers to the wind over deck. 25 is normal. If there is ''more'' than 2 kts crosswind, the LSO will mention that too by adding one of the words [port, axial, starboard]. A 3-4 kts starboard wind is called "axial". Examples:
 * Fly the ball and the LSO instructions until you touch down. When you touch down, don't anticipate catching a wire. ALWAYS engage full power (mil power, or even afterburner if you think you might need it) until it's clear that you are standing still on the deck.
 * Cut power to idle and set master light switch to OFF. If the wire doesn't pull you back and release (for DCS reasons), try turning the nosewheel left and right a couple of times. When the wire has released, raise the hook, raise the flaps (set to AUTO/UP), fold/sweep the wings and taxi off the landing zone and park on the bow or wherever you are instructed to.

 * At 10 DME, start landing checks. Remain at 1200'. Extend gears at 8 DME. Make sure you're flying on-speed in landing configuration at 6 DME. Approach may instruct you to "dirty up" (i.e get into landing configuration) earlier or later than 8 DME if needed.
-* Typically, we do not use ACLS, so there is no needles call. Approach will just at some point call "400, fly bullseye", meaning that you are supposed to follow the ICLS. In the rare event that ACLS is used, see instructions about that in the end of this article.

So if you're flying as expected, you ''should'' be below the glide path when the call comes, and your response should be ''"Up and on"'''.

 * Around 1-2 DME, you should see the ball. From now on, fly the ball. Ignore the ICLS/ACLS for vertical corrections.
 * At around 3/4 nm, perform the ball call when the approach controller tells you to. [Sidenumber] [Aircraft type] Ball [Fuel state]. Example:

 ** If using the Master Arms mission template, you can use the radio menu "Others/Carrier Control" sub-menu to force the boat into "recovery" light mode. This is the recommended way.
 ** Use the radio menu and declare inbound. The carrier will turn the lights off when you land. So this makes most sense if you are the last pilot to land.

 * At 20 DME you need to perform a 30 degree turn towards the Final Bearing so that you are lined up on Final Bearing before 12 DME at the latest.
 * Level off at 1200'.
-* You may want to clean up your HUD. For instance, in Hornets, remove the time from the HUD (HSI, TIMEUFC, ZTOD) to make sure it's not obstructing the IFLOLS when landing.
