Study Notes
Pilot Certificates
- FAA pilot certificates were historically simple and easily duplicable, containing minimal identifying information.
- Post-9/11, debate on incorporating pilot photos led to the addition of holograms to enhance security.
- Pilots must carry government-issued photo IDs; some certificates now feature the pilot's photo.
- Under Title 49 CFR Part 1552, obtaining FAA certification requires proof of U.S. citizenship or a criminal history check for resident aliens.
- Increased checks by TSA and CBP ensure compliance with documentation requirements.
Airspace Restrictions
- The U.S. government imposed tighter airspace regulations post-9/11 to protect critical infrastructures.
- Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ) require permission for entry under Visual Flight Rules.
- Flight Restriction Zones (FRZ) mandate TSA waivers for air traffic operations.
- Prohibited areas include direct airspace over the White House and Camp David, while restricted airspace requires ATC permission.
Agricultural Aircraft Operations
- Following 9/11, agricultural pilots were scrutinized for potential misuse of aircraft.
- The National Agricultural Aviation Association outlines security measures for pilots, such as securing aircraft and chemicals and establishing contact with law enforcement.
Fixed Base Operators (FBOs)
- FBOs provide essential services like fueling, maintenance, and flight instruction, handling substantial general aviation traffic.
- National Business Aviation Association's best practices for FBOs stress personnel security training, access control, and visitor verification.
- Aircraft servicing requires a flight crewmember on-site, and thorough checks for unauthorized access are mandatory.
General ICAO Recommendations
- Airport Security Coordinators (ASC) manage security policies, training, and performance evaluations to improve airport security.
- Regular security consortium meetings promote awareness of recent threats and security objectives.
- Facilities must implement robust physical security features, including CCTV, lighting, and secure access points.
- Emergency response plans and training for staff are critical for effective security operations.
Credentialing and Incident Response
- Background checks for airport personnel must comply with regulations, potentially including intelligence gathering to deter criminal activity.
- Isolated Parking Position (IPP) must be designated for aircraft suspected of threats, ensuring safe spacing from active runways for law enforcement access.
Summary of Airport Security
- Part 1542 outlines security regulations for U.S. commercial airports, with the Airport Security Coordinator serving as the main liaison with the TSA.
- The Airport Security Program details security area access control, criminal history checks, and incident management procedures to maintain airport safety and compliance.
