Flight School Security Awareness Training for Aircraft and Simulators
October 26, 2004
Introduction
Welcome to the Flight School
Security Awareness (FSSA) Training Module! The purpose of
FSSA training is to raise general security awareness levels
of employees working in the flight training industry. Employees
in this industry must be able to question and respond appropriately
to any behaviors or activities that may present a threat to
aviation security.
In accordance with 49 CFR 1552, Flight Schools and Flight
Training Centers are required to provide security awareness
training to their employees. Under this legislation, Flight
School and Flight Training Center operators have two choices,
they can develop their own in-house training program in accordance
with the guidelines set forth in 49 CFR 1552, or they may
use this TSA program to meet the mandate. This program is
a pro-active response from TSA to offer an alternative to
each school having to develop their own program. Regardless
of which method the operator chooses, both programs must meet
the established mandates outlined in 49 CFR 1552.
This training module will provide you with the basic knowledge
on indicators of suspicious activity and how suspicious activity
should be reported. It will also include a variety of scenarios
to test your knowledge on what you have learned and will conclude
with recommended best practices. Upon completion of the training
you will receive a printable certificate.
Security awareness allows us to take mindful and conscious
measures to reduce the risks associated with suspicious behaviors
that could lead to unlawful activity.
Security awareness also provides basic knowledge on what
to look for around you and how to report suspicious activity.
Due to the tragic events of September 11 th , there has been
an emphasis on those who work at airports and with flight
school students to become the “eyes and ears” of
the transportation and aviation industry.
What does this mean?
How do you become the “eyes and ears”?
What behaviors or activities may be considered suspicious?
What actions can you take to make your area more secure?
After completing the training on Flight School Security
Awareness, you will be able to:
Identify potential indicator behaviors that should raise
suspicion.
Decide what response or action, if any, is necessary to
take for activities or behaviors that may be considered suspicious.
Identify “Best Practices and Recommendations”
to aid in increased security by reducing threats and illicit
behavior and/or activities.
The Flight School Security Awareness training will cover
the following topics:
Actions
Indicators
Best Practices and Recommendations
This completes the Introduction to FSSA.
