Given that (I'm gueesing it's the PAR system) mil controllers are able to get a 'side view' of the approach showing the aircraft position on the glideslope (range and height) could a similar system not be used in 'civilian' airfields with an alerter buzzer if an aircraft drops below a pre-set lower limit? Would it even be possible I suppose would be the next question.



thing - working at EMA I've heard our Radar/App controllers talk to GA A/C with Mode Charlie inaccurancies talk about the Mode C tolerance being required to be within 300' of actual altitude
