To land is simple but hard to do. You must lower the plane to very close to the water. Lower the gear then start to add up elevator but not throttle. The plane will start to settle nose up. Once you are over the very end of the carrier go full up and hold it. If you are close the plane will start to roll on the deck. You must roll over the wires to catch the wire and land. If you miss the wires hit the throttle and do a go around. Once you do a few landings it becomes fairly easy. In the old version on the apple you used to be able to see the carrier in the little window in the center lower portion of the screen.
Once you have landed follow the instructions of the director (flag guy) to go onto the elevator. Once he puts both flags up, hit X and you'll go into the ship and be refueled and rearmed with your choice of weapon.
