The United States Navy is conducting a Field Carrier Landing Practice detachment operation at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility March 9 – 26. The E-2 Hawkeyes and C-2 Greyhound propeller-driven aircraft are conducting training activities intermittently between 10 a.m. and midnight. The practice is conducted at ashore facilities to provide pilots the opportunity to simulate carrier-landing operations in an environment where the risks associated with at-sea carrier operations can be safely managed. Field Carrier Landing Practice is required flight training that precedes and qualifies pilots for carrier-landing operations. Questions or concerns about the practice should be addressed to the U.S. Navy at 855-628-9247.
