An optical landing system (OLS) (nicknamed "meatball" or simply "ball") is used to give glidepath information to pilots in the terminal phase of landing on an aircraft carrier. From the beginning of aircraft landing on ships in the 1920s to the introduction of OLSs, pilots relied solely on their visual perception of the landing area and the aid of the Landing Signal Officer (LSO in the U.S. Navy, or "batsman" in the Commonwealth navies). LSOs used coloured flags, cloth paddles and lighted wands. The OLS was developed after World War II by the British and was deployed on U.S. Navy carriers from 1955. In its developed form, the OLS consists of a horizontal row of green lights, used as a reference, and a column of vertical lights. The vertical lights signal whether the aircraft is too high, t

In its developed form, the OLS consists of a horizontal row of green lights, used as a reference, and a column of vertical lights. The vertical lights signal whether the aircraft is too high, too low, or at the correct altitude as the pilot descends the glide slope towards the carrier's deck. Other lights give various commands and can be used to require the pilot to abort the landing and "go around." The OLS remains under control of the LSO, who can also communicate with the pilot via radio. (en)
  • 光学着艦装置(英語: Optical landing system(OLS))は、航空母艦へ着艦する最終段階にあるパイロットに、適切な降下経路(グライドパス)により降下できているかを表示する装置である。「ミートボール」もしくは単に「ボール」というニックネームが付けられている。 1920年代に飛行機が船へ着艦する時代が来て以来、光学着艦装置が導入されるまでの間、パイロットはもっぱら自分の視覚に入ってくる飛行甲板の見え方を頼りにし、(英語: Landing Signal Officer(LSO))の助力を得ていた。LSOは着色された手旗、パドル、合図灯などを用いていた。 (ja)
