A carrier landing is done with full takeoff power in case of a "bolter"
or missed wire and you have to take off immediately. When the pilot
feels the sudden deceleration from a confirmed wire, he/she chops the
power and the rest of the landing process proceeds.



Nope! The carrier landing is made with normal approach power.
Immediately after touchdown, the pilot applies full power and
then retards the throttle to idle if a trap is made.
