_________________________________________________________

TOP DEFINITION
call the ball

Commit to a course of action; make a final decision about a course of action.

Derived from U.S. Navy terminology for a naval aviator confirming he has the optical landing aids in sight prior to landing on an aircraft carrier.

Famously used during the movie “Top Gun”.

Flight Control: “Maverick, you’re at 3/4 of a mile. Call the ball.” Maverick: “Roger. Maverick has the ball.”

An optical landing system (OLS) (nicknamed “meatball” or simply, “Ball”) is used to give glidepath information to pilots in the terminal phase of landing on an aircraft carrier.

When it is green you are correctly lined up to land on the aircraft carrier.

You then have to COMMIT TO A COURSE OF ACTION, and land the plane.
