TRACON = Terminal Radar Approach CONtrol facility.
Combined radar approach facility when there are numerous airports in one radar coverage area. For example, SOCAL (Southern California) Approach covers all airports in LA/San Diego area.
"Bay Approach" covers all in SF Bay area.
There has been talk of renaming the one for JFK, Newark, LaGuardia, Teterboro, Republic Field, Westchester, etc. "Gotham Approach"
