This research intends to portray the operation of Radar Star2000 in the detection of aircraft for
air traffic control in Manaus. It is understood that air traffic is characterized by the circulation
of several aircraft and requires the provision of services by controllers who monitor, guide and
give all guidelines so that the flow is safe, fast and orderly, both in the air and on the ground.
In addition to the human contribution, this work would not be possible if certain elements were
not made up such as equipment and “software”, being extremely necessary to have greater ease
in controlling aircraft in order to always maintain the highest levels of safety. It is noteworthy
that the Radar, being a device that allows detecting objects and infers distances from
electromagnetic waves emitted by the equipment itself and received by the aircraft's echo, helps
to maintain the safety of air traffic, which is essential for a quantitative greater number of
aircraft that land and take off at all times, transporting cargo, people, etc. In this sense, this
study was carried out with a qualitative approach, where bibliographical and documentary
research were carried out, emphasizing the verification of the composition and functioning of
the Radar Star2000 through technical manuals, as well as the "software" that assists the
aforementioned equipment in the detection of aircraft for traffic control. What was obtained as
a result was the finding that the Radar generated a positive impact on the fluidity of the aircraft,
since the city of Manaus has the second largest cargo airport in Brazil - Eduardo Gomes
International Airport -, being the largest in the North Region In addition to the fact that the use
of the equipment has contributed to the safety of people who use the aircraft for different
purposes, it also helps the economy of the State.
