This report presents data collected 26 Feb - 5 Mar and 24 Mar - 31 Mar 1980 to study the effectiveness of the passive feedhorn sectorization and the utilization of this feature by local air traffic personnel. This study was required in order to determine system involvement in a substantial increase in aircraft near misses reported by aircrews flying within the Travis area. The AN/FPN-55 passive feedhorn's capabilities and limitations in the tracking of light/small cross sectioned aircraft were documented, and those system capabilities and limitations presented in the December 1976 TRACALS reports were verified.
