The Safety Board is concerned about the lack of conspicuity of primary targets in ARTS systems. The Board concludes that increasing primary targets' visibility to controllers is essential to enhancing flight safety. Modify all variants of Automatic Radar Tracking System software to automatically track primary radar targets that have characteristics consistent with aircraft in flight and tag them with a persistent track symbol that will be continuously displayed to controllers. Further, this feature should be incorporated into all future Federal Aviation Administration terminal radar data processing systems. (A-9946).
