AOPA Asks TSA To Give GA More Input on Airport Security
The issue with access to the air operations area and aircraft parking area can be significant for both based and transient GA operators, AOPA says.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) appealed to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to consider providing general aviation pilots more say in the development of airport security procedures. While the TSA largely does not regulate general aviation airports or operations, general aviation pilots face challenges at some of the 400 commercial airports regulated by the TSA, said Nobuyo Reinsch, AOPA director of aviation security in a letter to Michael Rucinski, the TSA’s industry engagement manager for general aviation policy, plans, and engagement.
