It's not that scary... The first time a navy pilot goes to the carrier they are solo.. its basically a "we've done all we can to prepare you... best of luck" type of thing

Sort of like... 

Tell someone to walk on a 1' wide painted line on the p avement.  They could probably jog/run it.

But have them walk on a 1' wide path 100' in the air.  And they will crawl it.

Same level of skill, but one is way scarier, which makes it harder.

I assume you do a LOT of landings on land with a picture of a carrier deck and arresting wires to shoot for.

I assume you do a LOT of landings on land with a picture of a carrier deck and arresting wires to shoot for.

That's a pretty good analogy.  I know I wouldn't be able to do that.  I wouldn't even try to crawl it due to being skeerededed tremendously of heights in an open environment, like climbing up ladders beyond 16-20 feet or walking on a house roof with steep roof angles. *shudder*
