Which officer is responsible for coordinating all matters pertaining to flight operations and CATCC?

The key role is the Air Operations Officer. This officer oversees the entire flight operations program on the ship, coordinating with the Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC) to ensure launches, recoveries, routing, and en route movements are planned and executed safely and efficiently. They manage the air plan, resolve conflicts, and keep the flight deck and air operations aligned with the ship’s readiness and mission requirements. PriFly handles the day-to-day flight-deck control and communications, while the Air Officer has broader aviation responsibilities; however, the specific coordinator for flight operations and the CATCC interface is the Air Operations Officer. Pilots operate aircraft, but they’re not the ones who coordinate the whole flight operations program.
