Where is the Air Boss stationed?

• A. Combat Information Center
• B. Hangar Deck
• C. Primary Flight Control (Pri-Fly)
• D. Bridge

Answer: (C)

The Air Boss is the aviation operations commander and coordinates all flight deck activities from Primary Flight Control. Pri-Fly is the island’s control center for flight operations, where real-time air traffic coordination, deck status, and communications with the catapult and arresting gear, as well as the Landing Signal Officers and Aircraft Handling Officer, happen. This centralized position lets the Air Boss effectively clear launches, manage recoveries, and keep everything synchronized with the deck crew. The other areas have different roles: Combat Information Center handles sensor data and battle information, the Bridge manages ship navigation, and the Hangar Deck stores and maintains aircraft. So Pri-Fly is the exact place for the Air Boss to direct aircraft operations.
