Mark (MK) 7 Aircraft Recovery Equipment: Learning Objectives
The document discusses aircraft recovery equipment on aircraft carriers, specifically the Mk 7 arresting gear. It describes how aircraft are able to land within 350 feet on carriers using arresting gear, which engages the aircraft's arresting hook to bring it to a controlled stop through an emergency barricade or cross deck pendant.
