Where is the arrested landing system mainly used?

  • In all airports

  • Only on military land bases

  • Only on aircraft carriers

  • In private airfields

Answer

An arrested landing system is used on aircraft carriers to help slow down aircraft after they have landed on the deck. This system consists of a cable that is stretched across the deck and a hook that is attached to the aircraft. When the aircraft touches down, the hook catches the cable and is pulled forward, which slows down the aircraft.
