‘12-5 Rule’ Security Program Comments Due

Air taxi operators are caught in a conundrum.

Air taxi operators are caught in a conundrum. Comments are due August 19 on the Transportation Security Administration’s draft standard security program (TFSSP) for air-taxi aircraft with a mtow of 12,500 lb or more (not more than 12,500 lb, as defined by FAR Part 25). However, obtaining a copy of the proposed TFSSP is not easy or quick. It’s available for review and comment only to those having an “operational need to know” and a non-disclosure agreement is required.

All Part 121 and 135 aircraft operators subject to the rule must request a copy of the proposed TFSSP by leaving a call-back message with voice-mail on the TSA’s 12,500 Operators Hotline at (202) 493-4006. A TSA official told AIN last month that air taxi operators calling in will be confirmed against a list of currently certified Part 135 operators. For operators not on the FAA list, the TSA will call their principal operations inspector (POI) for verification. That verification may take “a few days.”
