Who provides recovery/launch and operational control of aircraft while on ship and within the ship's control zone?

Recovery, launch, and operational control of aircraft within the ship’s control zone are handled by Primary Flight Control (PriFly). The Air Boss located in PriFly has overall authority for flight operations aboard the ship, directing when aircraft can launch or recover and coordinating all movement within the ship’s airspace. This includes signaling and sequencing with the catapult and arresting gear crews and communicating with the deck to keep everything safe and efficient. The Captain commands the ship, but flight operations are managed by PriFly, which maintains the authoritative control across the ship’s control zone. The Flight Deck Supervisor handles on-deck actions under PriFly’s direction, not the overarching control for the entire control zone. AATCC is not the designated authority for this role.
