Primary radar as used by ATC is extremely limited. It is not designed to identify targets at all; nor does it have particularly good vertical resolution. It can tell you where in 2D space a plane is, but without secondary radar and a cooperating transponder, it can't tell you what plane it is, and its uncertainty with respect to altitude can be several thousand feet. |
