Airman Security Threat Rules To Apply to U.S. Citizens
New rulemaking updates current FAA security threat disqualification regulations and consolidates them into one regulation that applies to all pilots.

New rulemaking updates current FAA security threat disqualification regulations and consolidates them under a single regulation. In sum, those regulations provide that no persons, including U.S. citizens, are eligible to hold an airman certificate, rating, or related authorization if the TSA notifies the FAA of an adverse security threat determination. The new rules go into effect on October 18.
