TRACON, or Terminal Radar Control, refers to a specialized air traffic control facility responsible for managing the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in the terminal airspace surrounding an airport. Utilizing advanced radar systems, TRACON controllers provide real-time guidance to incoming and outgoing flights, ensuring that aircraft maintain safe separation during takeoff, landing, and while navigating through congested airspace. This critical role enhances operational efficiency and contributes to the overall safety of air travel.
