Mobile airfields
Probably a question for the boys in Navy Blue but this seemed the best forum. I teach air traffic at a certain college of same on the south coast of Blighty. A student (actually we call them "trainees" - "student" is not PC) asked "Is an aircraft carrier an airfield, and if so does it have a MATZ?"
One of those questions where you say "Of course......" and then think "Sh*t - I have no idea". So guys, is a carrier officially an airfield and does it have a MATZ that travels with it?
