cockpit displays. Mode III is manual pilot control with talkdown guidance by a shipboard controller that provides verbal information for pilot control to visual minimums. The pilot can use full Mode I capability with Mode II and Mode III as backups. LANDING SEQUENCE The landing sequence begins when the aircraft is at the marshaling point (fig. 9-2) under control of the carrier air traffic control center (CATCC). The sequence is in two phases: approach and descent. Flight from the marshaling point to the radar acquisition window is the approach phase. Flight from the radar window to touchdown is the descent phase. Transition from the approach phase to the descent phase is done with a minimum of switching operations to reduce pilot task loading. MODE I LANDING OPERATION Figure 9-3 shows the Mode I landing sequence. The sequence begins when the aircraft is at the marshaling point. Here the aircraft is held according Figure 9-2.-Automatic carrier landing sequence. 9-4
