In the F-4 and Turkey, I have had Mode 1s to touchdown( I know a
contradiction,Mode 1s are always to touchdown) but they were an emergency
procedure. I doubtany modern aviator relies on this system


I could never get auto throttles to work right in the A-6 in the Prowler they
were a little better. I tried to do a coupled approach on Sara (90-91) and
ended up with a bolter. The Hornets were doing them all the time they seemed to
have the system and ship tweeked up really well. I think it was mandentory for
the first Hornet down the chute to attempt a Mode 1 as I recall they flew a lot
of them maybe 25% were hooked up.
