Appearance
The Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) is an air traffic control automation system currently being used in many busier TRACONs around the United States. STARS is intended to replace the Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) that was until recently in widespread use around the nation. However, ARTS is still common at many less busy facilities in the nation.
