Speed and Angels: Grading the landing onto a carrier

This is a clip taken from the film Speed and Angels. Every pilot that lands aboard a carrier is graded. If they don't achieve the minimum grade set by the Tomcat squadron then they will fail.

Thanks to unprecedented access granted by the Navy, director Peyton Wilson captured and created the most intimate film ever made on fighter pilots. Inspired by the passion of two young Navy officers she encountered, Peyton followed Jay and Meagan as they chased their childhood dream of becoming naval aviators flying the F-14 Tomcat. Their two and a half year journey takes them through dogfights in the Nevada desert, night landings on aircraft carriers off the Atlantic coast, and eventually to the biggest challenge young officers face: wartime deployment to Iraq.
