Get ready to dive into the heart-pounding world of catapult launches!
Meet the Catapult Centerdeck Operator, the unsung hero ensuring flawless communication with catapult control. They relay crucial aircraft information: type, gross weight, and side number, all while working alongside the Catapult Officer, the master of precision. Together, they select the perfect Capacity Selector Valve (CSV) settings, a high-stakes decision that varies for each aircraft based on weight and the ever-changing wind conditions on the deck. It's a thrilling dance of technology and skill, where split-second choices can mean the difference between flight or fall. Join us for a deep dive into this high-octane world!
There are suspends on the 2nd and 3rd bird (which is why the 2nd bird gets spun off). The reason why they suspended launches is/was a mystery to me - its a different job and paygrade to make those kinds of decisions sometimes.
