With the increasing volume of civil aviation traffic in China, the requirements for air traffic management pertaining to communication, navigation, and display equipment are reaching higher standards. If any of the equipment depended on by the air traffic controllers fails, it will disrupt the chain of control and command. As the key component for imaging, ATC primary control monitors were carefully assessed by the air traffic management control and technical support departments.
