Ever read the book TRACON? Besides being mostly fake, the book talked about "ghost" airplanes....it is due to outdate equipment, crazy stuff really.

false targets...that's just not a problem at Chicago, they're everywhere. I've dealt with them...it's from out of date equipment, weather...

I'm a little confused about this part-

"The radar complaints come as controllers raise concerns about the FAA�s plans to speed air traffic at O�Hare using controversial spacing and landing procedures. Under the plans, the FAA could resume testing a procedure as early as next month that stacks arriving planes vertically around O�Hare�s airspace. The planes would have to be at least 1,000 feet apart. Arrivals now are usually single-file."

Can somebody explain to me either in words or visually what that new FAA system is, as it sounds like an interesting concept.
