FINALLY!... Someone didn't ASSume EVERYONE on the planet knows the principle (however basic) of using the Optical Landing System!! It took him less than 10-seconds to explain something I thought must be too complicated (for others) to describe. 0:30
what an amazing channel, you deserve a million subscribers, here goes mine. with this level of explanation, you set the bar very high, greetings from argentina
With the original mirror system, you could also see your left and right alignment based on the meatballs relative position in the gap between the datum lights. I don't see how the fresnel system gives you that information. The meatball in the fresnel system is always centered no matter what your left and right alignment is. You said at the 1:26 mark you mention azimuth information. I didn't see that on the carriers I landed with the newer fresnel system. (I was a crewman on the C-1A COD so I didn't get any training on carrier landing mirrors systems. I just observed.)
Excellent info. However two questions remaining: Pitching of the ship is compensated by gyrostabilization of the lens system? This is a strictly visual system. How about those drones being developed? Those need autoland guidance. Something like an ILS? Or LPV (GPS based)?
Awesome videos. Is suggest you follow other aviation channels and post comments linking to your channel when they contain topics you cover. A lot of times people want to know more detail than what's given on other videos.
The IFLOLS system on every large carrier has computer controlled optical light tables that move up or down (as one) inside the indicator assembly. These control movements are based on type of aircraft, gyro inputs and heave sensor data from the “Lens Room” control system. All IFLOLS systems are aligned at the OEM and then on the carrier for the precision requirement.
@@marconeri6537 You are welcome. There is so much more to this system, but my brain dump would take a small book. I was the technician at the OEM that tested, aligned and troubleshot every IFLOLS system in use today. It was quite the learning experience for me about optics and light.

Thanks for Your comment😉
Your explanation and animation set the standard for others to look up to. Excellent!
Thanks Mate. Apreciate it
Thank you. I'm a former Air Cadet and you have explained this much more clearly than any of my former air studies teachers.
Almost 40 years. That's how long it's been since I watched Top Gun for the first time and said to myself "what's the ball?" Now I know everything!
Excellent breakdown of the components and great graphics!
This is so cool. Surprised to see it have so few views. Thanks!
I’ve published the video couple of hours ago so let’s be patient😉 thanks

Wow thanks Mate. Apreciate it
Well done, thank you! already one of my fav channels!
Wow thank You. I apreciate it. Hope U subscribed😉
@@x-planed you bet!
Very clear explanation of how it works
Another great explenation! Good job! :)
Thanks😉

First to watch 😊 perfect video, as always!

Bloomin Fantastic. Thank you

@@x-planed you bet I did 😉
very well explained!

Thanks fot an advice😉
Great video explanation. Thank you
How does the newest system adjust the glide slope to the approaching type of aircraft? Still tilting? (P.S. Thank you for your beautiful videos 🙏🏻)

Excelent explanations. 👍🏾😎 Thx
Is this DLPS, first used on RN carriers.
how the meatball work? simple, first a bake it and then i eat it.
Good one😉
Was I correct to read this comment in an animated Super Mario voice? "...first a bake it..."
@x-planed >>> Great video...👍
