Aviation Security Training: Awareness and Safety at Airport and Aircraft

Our aviation security training course is designed and administered to provide “real-life” situational awareness, tactics, and practical operations similar to the training of Federal Air Marshals and other law enforcement agencies.

This course goes well beyond the standard armed security officer (ASO) training program.

We prepare pilots, flight attendants, ASOs, ground crew, and even passengers to ensure the safety of those onboard and the proper functioning of the aircraft. This training course will provide you with the knowledge you’ll need to effectively maintain a safe environment, whether on the ground or in the air.

What is Aviation Security – And Why Is It Important?

Aviation security describes all the steps that are taken in order to ensure the aircraft, as well as its crew and passengers, remain safe. Aviation security is crucial not only while in the air, but also on the ground and in the airport before and after the flight. 

The mission of all personnel onboard a private or chartered aircraft is complex and challenging. Simultaneously protecting and ensuring the aircraft’s continued flight capabilities and the passengers’ safety in a unique and unforgiving environment with limited resources requires a special level of skill, proficiency, and mental preparation.
