The Traffic Control and Landing System (TRACALS) radar station evaluation report presents data collected to define the capabilities and limitations of the Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) facility located at Cannon AFB, NM. The evaluation period was 6-16 Dec 74. The Cannon facility is comprised of an AN/FPN-47 (Airport Surveillance Radar), AN/TPX-42 (Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System), AN/FPN-16 (Precision Approach Radar), and associated power systems. Evaluation results have assessed that the ASR does not satisfy mission requirements with the commissioned ASR antenna tilt of 4.0 degrees. ATCRBS false targets were numerous and apparently caused by reflections from hangars. Also, PAR service to runway 21 is hampered by the presentation of trains on the azimuth and elevation scopes. Included in this report are performance predictions and ananalysis of flight performance data.
