Who has carrier control zone clearing authority?

The person in charge of all aircraft operations on the carrier—the Air Officer (often called the Air Boss)—has the authority to clear the carrier control zone. This authority means deciding when aircraft may enter, depart, or maneuver within that zone and coordinating the sequencing to keep operations safe. PriFly serves as the communications hub that relays the clears and instructions, but the actual clearing authority sits with the Air Officer. Pilots don’t grant CCZ clearance themselves; they follow the Clearances issued by the Air Officer via PriFly.
