DESIGNATE PERSONNEL AND DUTIES 49 CFR Part 1544.215 & 14 CFR Part 108.215 Security coordinators.
(a) Aircraft Operator Security Coordinator. Each aircraft operator must designate and use an Aircraft Operator Security Coordinator (AOSC). The AOSC and any alternates must be appointed at the corporate-level and must serve as the aircraft operator’s primary contact for security-related activities and communications with TSA, as set forth in the security program. Either the AOSC, or an alternate AOSC, must be available on a 24-hour basis.
(b) Ground Security Coordinator. Each aircraft operator must designate (and) use a Ground Security Coordinator for every domestic and international flight. He or she must carry out the Ground Security Coordinator duties specified in the aircraft operator’s security program. Daily, the Ground Security Coordinator at each airport must conduct the following:
(1) A review for effectiveness and compliance, of all security-related functions for which the aircraft operator is responsible, the aircraft operator’s security program, and applicable Security Directives.
(2) Immediate initiation of corrective action for each instance of noncompliance for the aircraft operator’s security program, and applicable Security Directives. At foreign airports where such security measures are provided by an agency or contractor of a host government, the aircraft operator must notify TSA for assistance in resolving noncompliance issues.
(c) In-flight Security Coordinator. Each aircraft operator must designate (and use) the pilot in command as the In-flight Security Coordinator for each domestic and international flight to perform duties specified in the aircraft operator’s security program.
Although the TFSSP is not available to the FAA Part 91 (General Aviation) operators, these requirements may become industry-standard and a future requirement for all aircraft operators. Much of what is available from the industry training agencies, NBAA, sound security practices, etc. will provide the interim basis for FAA Part 91 (General Aviation) operators. Bomb Threats and Air Piracy (hi-jack) notifications for all operators can and should be relayed to the ASCC as well as the FBI and local authorities. Any unusual and suspicious activities in and around the airport should immediately be reported to the local authorities and 1-866-GASECURE (866/427-3287)
Contact your local FSDO for further information particular to your flight operation.
"Business jets operate into major international airports where they can be subject to similar, if not identical, regulations as scheduled service airlines. However, many also operate to states where there may be few or no sector-specific regulatory requirements and into small airfields and airstrips where there may be no security infrastructure, little or no ramp lighting and unobstructed access to parked aircraft."
