When you roll into the groove (1/4 mile final) the fresnel lense (meatball) comes into sight. Pilot states airplane side number, airplane type, ball, fuel state, such as “133-Hornet-ball-1.1” (1.1 denoting 1,100 lbs fuel). The LSO states, “Roger Ball” noting he sees you on the approach. Then the talking starts.
