Airports receiving SCT services include Burbank Airport, John Wayne Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Long Beach Airport, March AFB, Miramar MCAS, North Island NAS, Ontario Airport, San Diego International Airport, Van Nuys Airport and many more airports that service general aviation. who does the Pacific Oceanic control -Oakland? (I'm guessing) >> Oakland Center is just a center. There is a NorCal TRACON, so they might handle it. I do know SoCal took over the duties of Coast TRACON, so that is also a possiblity. I do know that LA Center took over most of SoCal's airspace, operating under center rules. That means that they must operate under center rules (more spacing) and with only about 300 controlers taking over for many more at So Cal, and having to control their own space
