Who is responsible for visual control of all aircraft operating in the carrier control zone?

Visual control of all aircraft in the carrier control zone rests with the Air Officer, the senior flight operations officer on the ship (often called the Air Boss). This person has overall authority for all flight operations, directing how aircraft are staged, sequenced, and monitored visually from PriFly and the flight deck. The Landing Signal Officer handles the final approach and landing signals under the Air Officer’s direction, but does not oversee every aircraft in the CCZ. PriFly serves as the central flight information hub, facilitating communication and coordination, while the Air Officer holds the ultimate responsibility for safe, coordinated operations in that airspace.
