Approach ops (Air Ops) are the maneuvers that aircraft (attack/fighters or support) execute to get aboard the carrier (trap). Since the flight deck is not very large, the aircraft must be stopped catching a wire stretched across the deck with a sturdy hook attached to the plane.
They follow a very standardized pattern around the carrier, day or night, good or bad weather, clear or no visibility.
It is considered the most difficult and dangerous thing there exists in aviation.
