ATC reporter claims that since the implementation of the A3 pt 06 ARTS program the tower d-brite has experienced a data tag problem. The reporter states that numerous arrival tags have failed to go into specific lists causing a controller distraction when the tracks continue across the radar scope indicating speeds up to 300 KTS.

Narrative:
Since implementation of A3.06 ARTS program, numerous arrs at mia tower have failed to go into the P1, P2, and P3 tab lists on the tower d-brite. The data blocks of these aircraft continue across the scope for up to 10 mi, sometimes indicating ground speeds of 300 KTS before going into the approach controller's coast list. This condition causes tower controllers to lose data on arrival aircraft, and is a distraction for tower controllers and approach controllers.

Title: ATC RPTR CLAIMS THAT SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE A3 PT 06 ARTS PROGRAM THE TWR D-BRITE HAS EXPERIENCED A DATA TAG PROB. THE RPTR STATES THAT NUMEROUS ARR TAGS HAVE FAILED TO GO INTO SPECIFIC LISTS CAUSING A CTLR DISTR WHEN THE TRACKS CONTINUE ACROSS THE RADAR SCOPE INDICATING SPDS UP TO 300 KTS.
Narrative: SINCE IMPLEMENTATION OF A3.06 ARTS PROGRAM, NUMEROUS ARRS AT MIA TWR HAVE FAILED TO GO INTO THE P1, P2, AND P3 TAB LISTS ON THE TWR D-BRITE. THE DATA BLOCKS OF THESE ACFT CONTINUE ACROSS THE SCOPE FOR UP TO 10 MI, SOMETIMES INDICATING GND SPDS OF 300 KTS BEFORE GOING INTO THE APCH CTLR'S COAST LIST. THIS CONDITION CAUSES TWR CTLRS TO LOSE DATA ON ARR ACFT, AND IS A DISTR FOR TWR CTLRS AND APCH CTLRS.
