Facility Access
• Is the hangar/FBO property fenced off from the street and from adjoining unsecured property?
• How do you control access through any gate or entrance door? If magnetic cards, how are they issued, and how are they recalled from ex-employees? If gate phone, how do you identify caller (“UPS/FedEx/mailman” shouldn’t cut it), and is there a camera at the gate? If it’s a keypad, change the numbers frequently. Are visitors escorted to their destination?
• Inside the facility, do guests wear visitor badges? Do employees challenge unidentified visitors with an assertive but unoffensive “Hi, may I help you?”
• If there is a security system installed in the building, where and to whom does it signal an alarm? Are there security guards in the building? When and how are they trained?
Passenger Identification and Security
• How are passengers identified? Personal familiarity with the crew? Or ID matched against passenger manifest?
• If last-minute additions to the passenger manifest are permitted, under what circumstances and approved by whom?
• Is passenger luggage searched and verified by the individual? To what degree?
Are carry-on bags inspected? What is the company/flight department policy on carriage of weapons aboard the aircraft, and what controls are in place?
