Questions about carrier landings

    Questions about carrier landings

    I'm just wondering about communication between control tower / LSO / pilot on a carrier approach landing.  I have no idea of this process and just looking to gain some insight.  I'm playing a flight sim type game and when lining up on glideslope for a carrier landing the CV Marshall says "Mother is case 1, expect CV-1 approach."  I think I have a basic idea of how glideslope / meatball works but not totally sure.  I'm wondering what this lingo means.

    The pilot eventually responds something like "One zero seven, approach final bearing 174, flying two niner zero"  (approximately)  I would like to know the details behind what instruments they are reading and relaying to the people on deck.  I think I've heard that they give final bearing  (direction I guess) and then how much fuel and then they 'call the ball' signaling they see the meatball and are on course.  What is an example of what a pilot would say when coming in for landing and what it means?  thanks in advance
