This traffic control and landing systems (TRACALS) radar station evaluation report presents data collected from 17-27 June 1977, to define the capabilities and limitations of the radar approach control (RAPCON) facility at Spangdahlem AB, Germany. The RAPCON is comprised of the AN/FPN-47 airport surveillance radar (ASR), the AN/TPX-42A(V) Type III air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS), the AN/FPN-16 precision approach radar (PAR). and the associated power systems. The report includes a description of the useable ASR coverage, a description of the ATCRBS coverage and tracking capabilities, a description of PAR coverage and tracking capabilities, and the analysis of flight and equipment performance data. The capabilities and limitations presented are a guide for expected system performance until there is a modification to or relocation of the equipment or until a significant change occurs in the horizontal profile.
