About 129-134 is common. 8.1 degrees AOA. For carrier landings, it's 800
feet per minute all the way to touchdown (3.5 degree glide slope). For
field landings, it's about the same 700-800 FPM and a 3.0 degree glide
slope. Most senior guys flare to land to save center barrel life and FLE.

What is the "center barrel" and the "FLE? and why does flaring save them?
