Two thoughts -- (1) when approaching a carrier I often set the parking brake in advance, to assist the wire in getting the plane stopped. I know this is not strict real-world procedure, but I know that others do it as well. So the parking brake might be set even if the plane is not on the deck just yet.
Ok, that's cheating
, but it should't be a problem to check for wow(weight on weels) as well.

Even better, all are bound to the user commanding the mp-carrier, so they are syncronous.

That's the problem, the mp-carrier did not show up for me on the mpmap at all (I checked several times for 10-15sec) and besides fgmap is a helper tool it should not be required in my opinion.
So the only way is to make a blindshot to set the callsign to Nimitz and/or ask via chat.
Just imagine a pilot asking every 50nm "Is there a carrier around, and if, what's your callsign?"
