*The responsibility for actual piloting and navigation of the U.S.S. Enterprise lies with the Flight Control Officer, or "CONN." Receiving instructions directly from the commanding officer, the CONN'S duties include: navigational references and course plotting, supervision of automatic flight operations, manual flight operations, position verification, and acting as Bridge liaison to the Engineering department. While these functions (like most operations on the U.S.S. Enterprise) are heavily automated, their importance to the safety of the ship and the missions at hand demands that an officer be assigned to oversee the CONN at all times. *Source: Back of card
