The aircraft launching surface, such as a ship's deck, has a launch track and a shuttle hook extending from the track above the deck. Provisions are made for guiding a bridle over the hook including a ramp hingedly secured to the deck and adapted to be raised at one end to the top of the hook while the hook is stationary adjacent the ramp and the bridle is retracted over it.
