you are right SpazSinbad, "speed" was not the correct choice of words. I do try to land with glideslope, OAoA, and hopefully, better lineup. ;D

the info you posted was very informational, thanks. it clarified some thing I thought I knew!

BW, good to know and many happy landings.  ;D

Addition: Because "Optimum Angle of Attack" is such a mouthful most likely Navy pilots will substitute "On Speed" to describe 'the mouthful'. But they know what 'on speed' means in that context - and they are not talking about IAS. For example a Navy Pilot mantra back in the A4 era was:
"MeatBall - Lineup - Airspeed" where all those items were cycled in quicktime for a carrier approach/landing. All are important; and of course in context 'airspeed' is "Optimum Angle of Attack".

Subs17, that is a good point but I wonder how the aircraft will compensate via computer? Unless there is an emergency why would one want to do that?

In Lockon I used to use the split throttle when I was flying high AoA for aerobatics its cool to be able to do it.
