Someone tell me what that means. Been wondering since the 80’s.
There is a device on the boat which shows a red, yellow or green light. It is the ball. And the pilot will see red, yellow or green depending on whether he is below, just at or in a good glide slope. You are good in green and low in red. Watch Rob Roy's YT channel. You will see the ball on the port side of the deck. Calling the ball is the deck guys knowing whether the planes glide slope is good. I believe those guys can wave off a plane that is not in the right groove. And I think one or two of those deck guys grades the pilots landing.
