  This is a TRACON
   Demonstration!

TRACON provides a
simulation of a
Terminal Radar
Approach Control
facility, complete
with realistic
sectors and traffic.
END
00:09  Text
You control aircraft
over Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Chicago,
Miami, or Boston.

To do so, you issue
realistic commands
from either a keypad
or mouse.
END
00:18  Text
This demonstration
will do all that
for you, so just sit
back and enjoy it!
END
00:26  Text
Let's first get
acquainted with the
parts of the screen.
END
00:34  Text
The blue area above
this notepad is the
"Pending" flight-
strip area where
you can see inbound
aircraft about 5
minutes before they
become active.
END
00:46  Text
The green "Actives"
area mirrors the blue
area, but it contains
the aircraft that are
actually under your
control.
END
00:58  Text
The purple area to the
left is the Communica-
tions area.  When you
issue commands and
pilots or other
facilities respond,
this is where the
voice-equivalent info
is shown.
END
01:10  Text
Finally, the black
scope area behind the
popped-up startup box
is your radar scope.
We will see that in
more detail later.
END
01:25  Text
The dialog box in the
middle of the scope
area allows you to set
simulation parameters.

We'll use the name
"Demonstration" here.
END
01:35  Demonstration
01:35  Text
Here you choose the
control sector.

Let's keep the default
Los Angeles sector.
END
01:45  Tab
01:45  Text
You can create a new
scenario or rerun a
previous one.  We will
use "DEMO.SIM" here.
END
01:55  Tab
01:55  Text
Here we set the number
of aircraft to handle
during the simulation.

Let's use "7" for our
short demonstration.
END
02:05  7
02:05  Text
You may also set the
time "window" over
which these aircraft
enter your sector.

The shorter it is, the
the more airplanes you
must handle at once.
END

02:15  Text
Weather conditions
are set here.

"IFR" conditions mean
simply that the pilots
cannot navigate using
landmarks, but their
approaches are easy
and there are few, if
any, misses.
END
02:25  Down
02:25  Text
"Minimum" conditions
mean low clouds, but
a stable airmass in
which approaches can
usually be completed
normally.
END
02:35  Down
02:35  Text
"Turbulent" conditions
mean more missed
approaches as pitch
and roll control is
more difficult on
final approach.
END
02:45  Down
02:45  Text
"Stormy" conditions
are the hardest for
both you and pilots.
Missed approaches are
common and pilots are
having an especially
difficult time up
there.
END
02:55  Down
02:55  Text
We'll use IFR weather
in this demo.
END
03:00  Tab
03:00  Text
You can also set
pilot proficiency.

"Perfect" pilots are
wonderful -- they do
what you tell them
every time.
END
03:10  Down
03:10  Text
"Average" pilots make
some mistakes, but not
very many and not very
often.
END
03:20  Down
03:20  Text
"Lousy" pilots, on the
other hand, make lots
of mistakes over and
over.  They're quite
a handful!
END
03:30  Down
03:30  Text
Let's use Perfect
pilots for this demo.
END
03:35  Tab
03:35  Text
You can set wind
speed and direction
here. For now, let's
use calm conditions.

Our radar is working,
sweeping a radius
about 20 miles from
a centerpoint North-
east of Los Angeles
International airport.
