Demonstrates that by understanding radar, the pilot can more effectively use its valuable assistance. Illustrates why the use of transponders in today's modern air traffic control system is essential for flight safety.

The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, and equalization.

ATCRBS assists ATC surveillance radars by acquiring information about the aircraft being monitored, and providing this information to the radar controllers. The controllers can use the information to identify radar returns from aircraft (known as targets) and to distinguish those returns from ground clutter. The system consists of transponders, installed in aircraft, and secondary surveillance radars (SSRs), installed at air traffic control facilities. The SSR is co-located with the primary surveillance radar, or PSR. These two radar <b>...</b>
