On approach with the pitching deck, you HAVE to trust the LSO. The landing area dramatically changes as the deck pitches. When the bow is way up, you are too high, and when it goes down rapidly, you are now low with respect to the optimal glide path. IF the ball cannot keep up with the deck the LSO will manually move the landing reference (ball/MOVLAS), and keep you from chasing. But you cannot unseat what is happening in front of you.

During nice weather, it is the sport of kings as you are graded for every landing, and ranked in the air wing.
