The air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS) is a system used in air traffic control (ATC) to enhance surveillance radar monitoring and separation of air traffic. It consists of a rotating ground antenna and transponders in aircraft. The ground antenna sweeps a narrow vertical beam of microwaves around the airspace. When the beam ...
An Air Force air traffic controller is reflected in the precision approach radar scope (1980) PAR radars use a unique type of radar display with two separate "traces", separated vertically. The upper trace shows the elevation of a selected aircraft compared to a line displaying the ideal glideslope , while the lower shows the aircraft's ...
