Who gives directions to the Landing Signal Officer?

In carrier flight operations, the Landing Signal Officer relies on PriFly for the latest deck status, wind, and the arrival sequence. PriFly acts as the Primary Flight Control, coordinating information and directions between the air operations team (led by the Air Boss) and the flight deck. The LSO uses the guidance and clearances from PriFly to manage the approach and signals to the pilot. Without PriFly’s direction, the LSO wouldn’t have the current instructions needed to sequence landings or decide when to accept or wave off an aircraft. Pilots themselves lead the approach once cleared, but the direct source of directives to the LSO is PriFly.
