This traffic control and landing systems (TRACALS) radar station evaluation report presents data collected from 16-28 March 1977 to define the capabilities and limitations of the fixed ground controlled approach (GCA) facility at Homestead AFB, Florida. The GCA is comprised of an AN/FPN-47 airport survillance radar (ASR), AN/TPX 42(A)V Type III air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS), AN/FPN-16 precision approach radar (PAR), and associated power and communications systems. This report includes descriptions of the useable ASR and PAR coverage and tracking capabilities, the ATCRBS coverage and tracking capabilities, the analysis of flight and equipment performance data, and the performance predictions for the ASR, ATCRBS, and PAR systems. The data presented in this report are a guide for anticipated equipment performance until there is an addition, deletion, or relocation of equipment, or until a change occurs in the horizontal profile.
