Single engine CV trap

Has any twin-engine aircraft been authorized (per manual or NATOPS) to
land with an engine inoperative? Has any twin-engine aircraft ever
landed aboard with an engine out?

Don't know of one off hand that has NOT!

A-6, E-2, F-4, F/A-18...

So when an A-6, F-4, F-14 or F-18 with one engine out lands, is it into the barrier like the props?

Generally not. There's enough thrust single engine to bolter.

And / or the boat can make enough wind over the deck to make it
reasonable.

In general, no. The pilot will usually get a couple chances to make a normal
approach and landing. However, bad weather may dictate the barricade for the
first try.

Any done at night? THAT would be a superman story!

I have one each S2 and S3 trap with one out, the S3 trap was at night.
Neither case had the barrier rigged. Neither was a particular problem.

In the case of the S3, the a/c was a bit more sensitive to glide slope
control since the operating engine was at much higher power than either
engine if both were operating.

Also S-3A/B. Bingo was always preferred if available, however, the
S-3 had a fairly decent single engine profile. I don't recall ever
rigging the barricade for a single engine S-3.
Regards,

Thanks, all. I woulda figured a higher pucker factor.

Just another day at the office!

I didn't intend the list to be all inclusive; there are others.

I never had the "pleasure" -- never had a J-65 or J-52 quit on me in 3500 hours
of A-4 and A-6 flying! All 525 traps were with all installed engines running.
