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. 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. What is an example of what a pilot would
say when coming in for landing and what it means? I would love to know in the game what the heck they're talking about, I'm assuming they must be reading off numbers on cockpit instruments or HUD but it all sounds Greek to me. Have tried dozens of google searches on this and found nothing.
thanks in advance
