Tracals evaluation report. Precision approach radar station evaluation report, Fairchild AFB, WA
Abstract
A Precision Approach Radar (PAR) station evaluation was conducted at Fairchild AFB, WA (2039 CS) from 1 Aug. to 8 Aug. 75. This report presents the results of equipment checks, clutter analysis, runway survey, and the flight evaluation. Emphasized in this report is the excessive Angle Voltage Generator (AVG) 24-hour drift which has been observed at 10 of the 11 stateside facilities. In addition, the MTI speed related target deterioration which accurred between 164 and 179 knots is discussed.
