Naval Aviators describe carrier landings ("traps") like landing on a postage stamp. Instead of flaring to land gently like commercial pilots, they fly the jet at a constant optimum angle of attack and intentionally slam it into the deck at high speed to ensure the tailhook catches an arresting wire. It's literally a controlled crash.
