V0 Division 1984 - 1985
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CV-62
"V0 Division personnel run the Air Office"
The V0 Division consists of:
Air Department Office.
PRI FLY Primary Fly
LSO Landing Signal Officer
The Air Department Office is the organizational
center for the divisions of the air department.
The Air Department Office is responsible for
the paperwork of the department as a whole.
The Air Boss, together with the Mini Boss
supervise all departmental functions.The two
are ultimately responsible for the successful
accomplishment of the Air Departments mission:
To conduct aircraft handling, parking, launching,
recovering and fueling operations, including
control of airborne aircraft in the immediate
vicinity of INDEPENDENCE."
Pri Fly assists the Air Boss and the Mini Boss aka
Assistant Air Boss in running a smooth launch
and recovery operation. This is accomplished
by keeping an up to date status board of the
day's flying schedule.
The Landing Signal Officer (LSO or Paddles).
During recovery operations, approaching aircraft
receive "coaching" on their landing technique from
the Landing Signal Officer. Assisting the LSO are
two phone talkers that make a visual inspection
of each approaching aircraft to insure that the
wheels and tailhook are down and locked.
