flight deck
Carrier's landing surface
A flight deck is the deck of an aircraft carrier where planes take off and land, or the cockpit area of a large aircraft where the pilot and crew operate the controls.
The carrier sense emphasizes the flat, runway-like surface; the cockpit sense emphasizes where flight operations are managed: The captain emerged from the flight deck to greet passengers.
