Actually, that'd be a good one to learn as part of training; I mean really- every one practices their 'Sully on the Thames' these days it's just an extra 'I can handle it bullet' in the cylinder in the 'what if game' of flight. Keepin' your mojo cool is the key to it all! I recall my dad saying they can all land without the nose gear And he had done so in Super Forts (B29's) and also one 92 year old uncle in his Liberator PB4Y... recently at La Guardia: http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/25/travel/southwest-laguardia/ ...obviously the engineers do plan for this one since WWII. An ad-hoc robotic deck pad to get under the 'blind' pilot, who cannot see the pillow under his nose, would seem a useful low budget permanent item on any carrier deck tool kit. The kid who thought up putting a ram-jet on Nam era Huey's could probably manage it! Great damage control though!

Wow, that is a pilot who can keep his head straight when things get sporty.
