It's all about understanding your aircraft's minimum sustainable level flight throttle, Low-speed characteristics, and braking distances.
I typically use aircraft with low wing loading, and high maximum sustainable angle-of-attack. Having the plane equipped with flaps also helps. I carefully vary the throttle as I approach to keep me as slow as I can be without sinking or stalling, then I cut the throttle just shy of the carrier to let the plane stall onto the deck. Brakes are applied immediately, and I use the rudders and wheels to zig-zag, which greatly increases the rate of speed loss. If I'm going too fast, I'll kick the rudder hard to induce a ground loop on the deck, since the spin will slow the plane down very quickly.
General Tips:
-Approach from the rear
-Stall onto the deck
-Brake early
-Retract any flaps the moment you land
-Retracting the landing gear can help if your belly is smooth
-Parachutes are extremely useful
-Car wheels can brake much harder
-Bouncy suspension can cause you to kangaroo off the deck
And of course
-Know your plane!

Try using Landing Skis.
parchute air breaks landing flaps git gud
You need a slow flying aircraft, and parachutes can help.
How to land 101:
Git gud
It's actually pretty easy, even with pesky keyboard controls
