Pieterras Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, for who fancies using the new feature available on the LSO Platform. I thought I share the meaning of the lights. During cyclic ops... A ball call is NOT made and Paddles keeps the talking to the absolute minimum. However he/she can communicate with the pilot by the use of light signals. A steady (3 second) flash of the CUT lights is the LSO acknowledging control of the aircraft on final approach. The LSO acknowledging that the pilot has meatball acquisition, line-up reference and angle of attack. so in short. The pilot doesn’t make a ball call, BUT the LSO will acknowledge the pilot with a flash of the cut lights. Subsequent flashes of the cut light mean "add power" and the degree will be indicated by the duration of the cut light signal. the longer the duration of the cut signal the more power will be required. Waveoff lights mean "Waveoff" Alternating waveoff and cut lights mean "divert". This would normally only be used in Situations where no communication between paddles and the pilot is not available. happy landings Edited April 16, 2021 by Pieterras 6
