Who has control of optical landing aids and flight deck lighting?

The Primary Flight Control team (PriFly) is the group responsible for managing flight deck operations, including the visual cues used for landing and the deck’s lighting. They sit in the ship’s flight control shop and coordinate with the Landing Signals Officer to guide pilots safely onto the deck, adjusting the optical landing aids and deck lighting as needed for day or night landings. The Air Boss oversees overall air operations, not the day-to-day control of these visual aids; the Deck Crew handles on-deck aircraft handling, and the ACO’s role is coordinating during flight operations, not directly controlling the landing aids. So, PriFly is the entity in charge of optical landing aids and flight deck lighting.
