ABSTRACT

To ensure the safety and security of the general aviation xed-base operator (Figure 10.1) calls for the utmost vigilance by not only general aviation aircraft operators but also the xed-base operator aircraft support services. The primary security concerns for the xed-base operator include

• General security measures • Fixed-base operator security coordinator • Fixed-base operator security coordinator training • Aircraft security • Aircraft rentals • Transient pilots • Reporting suspicious activity

All access doors and gates from the xed-base operator to the aircraft ramp should be secure and monitored. These entry points should be accessible only to xed-base operator employees or other authorized individuals, such as pilots and aircraft owners.
