RECOMMENDED SECURITY POLICIES TO


AVOID TERRORIST ACTS The following steps are recommended by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA):


• Review all sources of media information. Newspaper, radio and television coverage of actual events can be very instructive.


• Maintain frequent contact with the company’s security department. Information gathered on aircraft and flightcrew security should be shared with the security department.


• Consider removal of company identification, logos and the American flag insignia from the aircraft.


• Do not publicize the aircraft itinerary.


• Have hangar personnel accompany all visitors at all times.


• Avoid having company signs, names, and logos on the hangar.


• Cancel trips or stops if there is any reason to suspect trouble.


• Be most sensitive to security info received just before flight time.


• Use the aircraft’s security system at every stop.


• Be very cautious when hiring local guards; local contacts can assist in making arrangements for localized activity (theft/violence).


• Know or require positive identification from all passengers.


• Require a passenger manifest.


• Require all passengers who are not employees to be authorized by a current employee.


• Check fencing, lighting, security patrols, gates and limited access areas at all airports.


• Encourage flightcrews to develop a security awareness attitude.


• Request guard services at security-sensitive locations through reputable source.


• Use only reputable catering services and monitor their service carefully.


• Advise passengers to maintain positive control of their luggage.


• DO NOT accept unknown packages.


• Check all unmarked or unrecognized baggage for ownership.


• Ask owner contents of unmarked packages. • Operate under a need to know basis.


TERRORISM PRECAUTIONS


The risk of an incident involving hijacking (air piracy) or other terrorist acts exists and is increasing both within the United States and overseas. The following precautions should be taken if a company suspects it may be a target of terrorism:


• Know Before You Go. Study security info and intelligence reports.


• Use the aircraft’s security system at every stop.


• Assume that one terrorist act signals the presence of another. If the aircraft is violated in one area, verify that other areas have not been violated.


• Report all terrorist acts, suspected acts, or concerns to the security department and authorities.


• Ask for help from local authorities, even if terrorist activity is merely suspected.


• If weapons are carried, take advantage of ongoing professional training on the use of any weapon carried onboard the aircraft.


• Consider alternative means of transportation if sabotage is suspected. Be unpredictable.


• Verify that no stowaways are aboard and all passengers are known by the crew and/or the lead passenger.


• Require positive identification for any unknown crew and/or passengers.


• Share any suspected terrorist activity only with company officials, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), The Aviation Security Command Center (ASCC) and other appropriate government agencies.


• Never leave facilities or aircraft unattended unless secure.


• Use security tape on all access panels and doors when parking overnight.
