Verification
Next, a weight board operator holds up a board showing the estimated weight of the aircraft to the pilot. Pilot gives the thumbs up, or can lower or raise the weight in 1000 lb. increments.
The weight board operator then shows the weight to shooter, the center deck operator and to the deck edge operators (DEOs). The DEOs call in the weight via telephone to the catapult crew below deck. The shooter takes the weight information and looks it up on a table of wind speeds to find a 3 digit code number, which he dials in to the console deck operator, who relays it below deck.
