"A carrier flight deck is a dangerous place. To avoid disaster, it’s crucial to know what’s happening where and when.
Guys gathered around a table, playing with toy airplanes: It’s a scene you’d expect to find in the back of a comic book store frequented by geeky teenagers. But it’s happening 24 hours a day on u.s. aircraft carriers around the globe.
In this video, we will dive deep into how US Navy Aircraft Carrier Handlers manage flight deck operations and keep these powerful machines running.
The aircraft handler is responsible for the safe and efficient management of all aircraft movements on the flight deck and in the hangar bay. With multiple aircraft taking off and landing every few minutes, the handler must make split-second decisions to ensure the safety of the aircraft, crew, and personnel on the deck. They must ensure that the aircraft are loaded into the catapult in a timely fashion and that they are ready to recover the aircraft on time. They also direct the elevator operator to move aircraft in real-time, making sure that the aircraft are only a few feet apart during takeoff and landing."
