"Arrested" "primarily" landing?

bdt-m:
12.1.5.
"An arrested landing is any landing in which the model’s forward
motion is stopped primarily by the arresting hook engaging any
arresting cable. The landing is scored at the point where the
model’s forward motion is first arrested, and the flight is
terminated at that time. (Judges Guide: A model which is arrested
in a normal attitude shall receive full points. If the hook
subsequently becomes disengaged, or the model rolls or is pulled
off the deck after forward motion has been arrested, the landing
score is not affected"

Primarily definition: for the most part; mainly...not entirely

Question:

If a carrier makes a landing in normal attitude, however; the hook is not engaged, or has not engaged a cable, is the landing given full 100 points? I would say YES based on the definition of the rules, what is your opinion?

john vlna:
it means if you hook up and stop, but then back off the wire(which can happen if you don't have a keeper on your hook) the you get the landing 100pts.

Soo if you don't hook up a rope/wire, just land on the deck between the ropes/wires you don't get 100 points, you get ZERO points.... correct?

That is correct.

My A-4P still in motion. The hook stayed with the cable and scored 100 points. Arrested landings can be a violent event...

From the 2022 NATS...

The A-4P is a fun plane to fly...
