The best thing to do while landing (when you're learning the game) is to
use rudder control instead of joystick control.  Level off, and using the
rudder head for the carrier.  Use the magnifier to make sure you're on course.
As far as getting the right rate of descent, you'll have to experiment with
different amounts of thrust and different angles of attack.  Once you've
landed a couple of time with this method, you'll find it a lot easier!

Try landing on the carrier instead!
