 '''Carrier operations''' in BMS, particularly in multiplayer, are extremely finicky. If things are not done in a cautious and particular way, it can easily result in one or more carrier aircraft blowing up for no good reason. To reduce this risk, there are a few things that can be done before and during an event.

 *Most Carrier pilots in UOAF choose to use the F/A-18 default pit when doing carrier operations. Some will choose the F-16Blk52 pit by removing the “Data/Art/ckptart/2778” file or “Data/CampainAdd-on/Art/ckptart/2778” file.

 * '''Taxi slowly to your given catapult'''. Aim your aircraft precisely as possible down the length. Slowly move forward until you catch the catapult. You will know you caught it when the aircraft noses down quickly and back up. Do not apply braking when moving to this position.
 *'''If you need to re-position, turn around and retry'''. But try not to take too much time. If you can't consistently catch the catapult the first time in multiplayer, reconsider taking a carrier aircraft slot.
