Keep it on the edge of a stall, and keep your gear up. All you need, that is unless you plan on taking off again. Flaps are needed, but spend enough time in your preferred carrier bird so you can get a feel for how she flies, helps with the landing aspect.

Back in WB's, Waxx taught me how to get REALLY good at carrier landings- the secret?  Touch n' gos. 

Don't lower your hook, and try to plant that sucker 3 wheel style.  Then just firewall the throttle, pick the tail back up, and take off for another pattern. 

If you can plant it on the wires (eventually you'll get the knack), all you have to do from that point is remember to lower your hook.  Easy peasy. 

Remember different planes act VERY different at low speeds, so you'll wanna know how to do it with all of 'em.

If you're having problems with the speed (things happen too fast, etc.), take up an SBD Dauntless or a Val.  Both of those have incredibly low approach speeds for 3 pointers, and will give you more time to think about all the factors involved when on finals. 

In the high performance boys like the Hellcat and the 4U, take combat trim off.  It does some funky nose-low stuff when landing at full flaps- that's exactly what you DON'T want. 

Remember- speed with pitch, descent rate with throttle.

I know that my biggest problem when I was trying to learn to land on the deck of a CV was that I was targeting the wires as my landing position.  Doing so lead to many crashes into the stern of the CV.

Now I aim for the front of the flight deck and, since the CV is moving, I settle right on the wires every time (unless the CV is turning    ).

Lucky! I have to aim for the middle, otherwise, I roll off the front before I put out the brakes, or crash into the back .

Get any bird slow enough and you can land it on the cv. Just for kicks we upped 163s and flew to our cv 2 sectors over to try and refuel. We did not drop our wheel pods.... well most of us anyway  . Landing was not too difficult. Landing in the refuel rearm area was.

Being in the 80th and S.A.P.P. we take more pride in the size of the explosion as we touch down than anything else anyway.

as a newbie corsair pilot...touch and go's are the way to go.  make it a tight turn into the carrier ao that you straighten just as you are crossing the stern.

besides that, practice. Our squad tries to do two or three before going into the ma....sucks to have a great flight, lots of kills and die on landing! i did that....alot!lol!
