• Abstract:
  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center was requested by the FAA Southern Region in October 1979 to provide specialized support with the transponder performance analyzer (TPA) in their efforts to identify and localize Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) coverage problems in the Atlanta, Georgia, Terminal. This support was to provide additional information and backup for other efforts in progress by the Southern Region. System performance tests, standard flight tests, and various other tests had been performed by technical and operational personnel. As a result of these tests, specific problems, localities, and aircraft types involved, beacon transponders became suspect as one source of difficulty. The requested TPA support was provided in November 1979 and data included herein provides the subject information in the transponder area of concern.
