I think a simple warning announcement so people are ready for the turn is fair enough.

Landing is overrated unless you just have to have the perks or sortie points or see your name in the buffer. If I get wounded in a perk ride I ditch it as soon as I can. Better half perks lost then all of them. CVs same deal if its in a tight circle ditch it and resortie. Why waste the time waiting or flying another twelve miles?

There are times though when I will fly another 35 miles and rearm for another sortie. Just depends on your mission objectives.

Easy.

Ive even landed an A8 on a turning carrier with half the wing missing and I fly with a mouse. Most of the fun (eh crashes) is due to people using autotakeoff on the carrier. When landing on a turning cv its always better to approach slow with the turn and not against it or from dead 6 of the carrier.

Its really only a problem when coming in for a landing damaged. If the rudder is shot out then its extremely difficult, and elevators gone makes it tough too.

If you're looking for advice, then i suggest you warn people that the cv is turning, and then maybe announce you'll be straightening it out for a min so folks can land...
