TRACON
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
TRACON is an acronym for Terminal Radar Approach Control. It is usually located within the vicinity of an airport. Typically, the TRACON controls aircraft approaching and departing between 5 and 50 miles of the airport. Radar equipment allows an air traffic controller to "see" the aircraft even at that distance.
