ENAIRE has completed the renewal of the air surveillance radar located in Begas, Barcelona. This infrastructure is fundamental for air traffic management in the northeast of Spain. The update incorporates a 3D technology system that improves precision in the coverage of the region's airspace, reinforcing operational safety.
3D Detection: Greater Precision in Altitude and Position 📡
The new radar provides three-dimensional surveillance data, continuously offering the altitude of aircraft along with their position. This capability allows for a more detailed and reliable traffic picture. The system facilitates the work of air traffic controllers by optimizing separation between planes and improving route management in airspace with high traffic density.
Now controllers will know if you're flying low... on morale 😏
With this precision, if a pilot decides to make a somewhat enthusiastic descent, control will see it instantly. No more it looked higher from down here. The Begas radar is clear: you, your altitude, and your attitude are monitored. At least planes won't be able to say my GPS took me this way as an excuse.
