KENNEDY CVA67 and to insure compatibility of current fleet aircraft with the Mark 7 Mod 3 arresting gear. Testing was conducted with three basic arresting-gear configurationsoperating modes 1 arresting gear with sheave dampers, using actual weight settings 2 arresting gear without sheave dampers, using actual weight settings and 3 arresting gear with sheave dampers, using single weight settings.
