National Safety Month - Aviation Security

At Flight Services & Systems, aviation security is everyone’s job and it starts with our training and teamwork. Our Aviation Security and Training departments have been developing an aviation industry first, virtual augmented reality (VAR) security training. You can learn about our VAR program by clicking here.

Along with our VAR program, our agents are regularly tested thoroughly on FSS and TSA standards and procedures. Our agents know that if they see something, they need to say something. When it comes to challenging an individual, our agents know what to look for and make sure the individual is where they’re allowed to be.

During security searches, our agents ensure that the proper steps are followed based on the airline specific requirements labeled and outlined in the Aircraft Operator Standard Security Program or AOSSP. Per the TSA, the AOSSP is “for operators with FAA Part 121 and 125 certificate holders and includes scheduled passenger service operations using aircraft with an FAA certified seating capacity of 61 or more seats, regardless of the number of existing seats”.
