Yes, you're missing something.  You must land PROPERLY.  That is, land from
the opposite direction in which you took off, and CATCH THE BUNGEES WITH THE
ARRESTOR HOOK.  This'll stop you without brakes, and is the only way to get
the computer to acknowledge a carrier landing (either yours or the enemy's...).
Similarly, if you're taking off from an airport you need to land from the 
proper direction on the proper runway or it won't acknowledge it.

So, drop your arrestor hook after lining up and make sure to catch those
little lines you see on the deck with it.
