Obviously NOT acquainted with the REAL terms of "CAT" and "TRAP".  
Either method takes about 2 seconds of INTENSE acceleration - OR about 2 
seconds of INTENSE deceleration.

The majority of those that come aboard "other" than pilots come aboard 
in a COD, (Carrier On-board Delivery), and the passengers are facing the 
rear.  It is a prop driven aircraft.  It SURE beats being put on board a 
smaller vessel by Helicast!

Personally, I found it enjoyable!  Then again I am a private pilot that 
would almost sell my soul to be at the controls!
