This precision approach provides precise and continuous position error info enabling a manual approach.

Mode II

100
This system consists of shipboard and aircraft components for all weather recoveries.

Precision Approach and Landing System (PALS)

100
This term is an order to proceed and land at the field specified under this specific profile.

Bingo

100

This can be calculated by adding or subtracting the magnetic variation with the Fox Corpen.

Base Recovery Course (BRC)

200
This position is responsible for control of aircraft during case III until transfer to the LSO.

Final Control

200

This precision approach enables the pilot to do a manual approach with position guidance info given by a final controller

Mode III

200

This system provides glideslope and azimuth info with the ARA-63/SPN-41.

Independent Landing Monitor

200
This term refers to the "Bullseye"

ILM

200

This is an acknowledgment that the aircraft is now being controlled by data-link signals.

Command Control.

300

This position is responsible for maintaining a proper interval and provides positive control during case II and III.

Approach Control

300

This precision approach provides an automatic approach for the pilot.

Mode I

300

This radar is used as the primary air search radar for air traffic control.

SPN-43

300

This signal is given to hold and conserve fuel at a specified altitude and position.

DELTA

300

This degree of control monitors radar and radio contact with aircraft under its control and provides traffic alerts.

Advisory Control

Integrated Launch and Recovery Television System (ILARTS)

400

This term is a pilot coded report indication aircraft is flying in clouds or an area of reduced visibility.

Popeye

400
This is a left hand holding pattern that extends outward of 5 miles with the ship in the 3 o'clock position.

Port Holding Pattern

500

This position is responsible for the accurate display of aircraft fuel states and location in the pattern.

VDB

500
This approach is flown by references to NAVAIDS in which glideslope info is not available

Non-Precision Approach

500
This system is designed to manage the data flow within and among work centers.

Aviation Data Management and Control System (ADMACS)

500

This term is used during daylight VMC conditions and radio transmissions are held to a minimum.

ZIP LIP

500

This refers to the time at which an aircraft will commence its approach under case II conditions.

Break Time.
