This Traffic Control and Landing System (TRACALS) radar station evaluation report presents data collected from 22 - 28 June 1978, to define the capabilities and limitations of the ground controlled approach (GCA) facility at RAF Alconbury, England. The GCA is comprised of an AN/MPN-13 airport surveillance/precision approach radar, AN/TPX-42A(V)1 air traffic control radar beacon system, and associated power systems. This report includes descriptions of the useable ASR coverage and tracking capabilities, the PAR coverage and capabilities, the analysis of flight and equipment performance data 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 significant change occurs in the horizontal profile.
