Who is required to complete security awareness training according to the TSA-FTSP?

Flight training organization employees who have direct contact with a flight school student are required to complete security awareness training according to the TSA Flight Training Security Program (TSA-FTSP). This requirement aims to ensure that individuals who interact closely with students understand the necessary security protocols and can recognize and respond to potential security threats effectively.

Having direct contact with students means these employees are in a position where they can influence and observe student behavior related to flight training. Thus, they play a crucial role in maintaining a secure training environment. This training equips them with knowledge about security policies and procedures, enabling them to better protect the integrity of the flight training environment. It emphasizes the importance of vigilance in identifying suspicious activities and understanding the actions necessary to report and mitigate potential security risks effectively.
