It shows up on controller screens as a rectan­ gular "alpha-numeric tag," which contains flight information coded in letters and numerals. The tag is electronically attached to the plane's radar blip and moves with the blip. Up to now, a controller had only a two-dimension (distance and di­ rection) picture of air traffic. The only way he could find out a plane's altitude was to call the pi­ lot and ask him. With the new equipment the controller need only refer to his radar screen. Once a pilot turns on his transmitting "beacon," the pulses to the ground operate auto­ matically and continuously. Any altitude deviation of 100 feet or more is instantly recorded on the ground. U.
