• [WARNING!! Large video file (2 MB): High Speed Internet Recommended. TURN YOUR SOUND UP!!] Here is a video of a night carrier landing. The first light that you see is on top of the ship. As you get in closer you finally see the landing area. Off to the left of the landing area you can see the green datum lights for the "meatball" (the orange light in the middle of the green lights). This pilot is right on glide slope as the "meatball" is right between the green datum lights. If the "meatball" was high, then the aircraft would be high and if the "meatball" was low, then the aircraft would be low. Enjoy, Don Chapman
