CIRCULAR
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration Washington, D.C.
FAR GUIDANCE MATERIAL Subject: SECURITY RULES - CARRIAGE OF WEAPOHS AND ESCXXU'ED PERSONS
1. PURPOSE. This circular provides information and guidance for the implementation of Sections 108.11 and 108.21 of 14 CFR 108, Airplane Operator Security, concerning the carriage of weapons and the carriage of passengers under the control of armed law enforcement escort(s). Previously, these requirements were set forth in Sections 121.584 and 121.585 of 14 CFR 121, but were removed from that part and restated in FAR Part 108 in order to consolidate security regulations and thereby facilitate public access to same.
FAR Part 108 was published in the Federal Register, Volume 46, ru'o. 10, January 15, 1981, effective September 11, 1981.
2. CANCELLATIONS. AC 121-18A, dated October 10, 1978, Subject: Aviation Security - Carriage of Weapons and Escorted Persons, is cancelled.
3. APPLICABILITY. Minor changes in the applicability of Sections 121.584 and
121.585 have been brought about bv their restatement in FAR Part 108. These changes result from a new definition of a "certificate holder," flexibility of economic authorities issued operators by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAR), and a limitation on operating certificates issued by FAA in accordance with Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 38. The basic factors involved are discussed below:
a. New Definition. The key to applicability is the definition of a "certificate holder," defined in FAR Part 108 as N . ..a person holding an FAA operating certificate when that person engages in scheduled passenger or public charter operations or both." Scheduled passenger and public charter definitions are set forth in Section 108.3. These types of operations where screening is performed (and, in soma cases, where pro screening is performed) are governed by the Initiated by: ACS-100
sections of FAR Part 108 dealing with the'carriage of firearms and persons under armed escort.
b. Flexibility of Economic Authority. Following implementation of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the CAB liberalized its policies and granted broader economic authority to air taxis (commuters) operating under 14 CFR 135 whereby they could conduct operations similar to those previously conducted only b holders of Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN). As a result, muter certificate holders began using airplanes similar to those formerly used only by CPCN holders without being subject to full security requirements. To ensure consistent application of FAA's security rules while achieving a level of security necessary to meet the existing threat, FAA restated security screening rquirements in FAR Part 108 and based such requirements on airplane seating configuration instead of the type of economic authority granted the cperator by the CAR.
c. *rating Certificates. Prior to the issuanuz of SFAR No. 38 in 1978, FAA issued a variety of operating oartificates (domestic, flaq, supplemental, cOIlPnercia1, air travel club, etc.) whi& facilitated application of specific security requirements to specific types of -rations. Issuance of SFAR No. 38, authorizing only two types of certificates (Air Carrier Operating Certificate and Cperating Certificate), eliminated the feasibility of applying security rules to different types of operations. Thus, it became appropriate and necessary to apply passenger screening and other security reguirements based on airplane seating configuration and the availability of departure information to the traveling public.
4. EACRXOUNJ3. Significant factors leading to the requirements in FAR Part 108 governi- the carriage armed esmrt are restated herein for the benefit of may not be familiar with such factors:
oirrent statement of of firearms and persons under new cperators or persons who
a. Several years ago, the FAA observed that a large nurrber of hijacking incidents created a potentially dangerous situation with respect W persons carrying weapons aboard aircraft. Persons legally armed often were not made aware of the presence of other legally armed persons on board the sane aircraft.
Moreover, these persons ware frequently escorting prisoners, hose Fesence reguired additional security measures. Furthermore, there ware instances when inadeguate identification procedures resulted in the carriage of deadly or dangerous weapons by persons not authorized to do so. Such inadeguate procedures have disrupted law enforcement missions in tiich the officer's anonymity was essential to success, (uninformed security officers or errployees of a certificate holder questioned the officer's authority to carry a weapon, after he had already cleared the certificate holder's security procedures).
b. In an effort to eliminate the above problems and to achieve standardization of procedures for the carriage of weapons and the air transportation of escorted persons and their armed escorrts, aNotice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on this subject was published in the Federal Register July 27, 1973. After considering the corranents in response to the NPRM and the subsequent enactment by Congress of Public Law 93-366 on August 5, 1974, which, among other things, amended Section 902(l) of Page 2 Par 3
- lo/x/al AC 108-2 the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, FAA issued FAR Amendment 121-118 on April 12, 1975. Following that issuance, administrative experiene indicated that minor changes were needed in these rules. These changes, accomplished by Amendment 121-142 which becaxe effective April 24, 1978, set forth additional reguirements concerning the carriage of firearms in checked baggage, such as elimination of the need to transport shotguns and sports rifles in locked containers, adding the reguirement to secure handguns in locked containers, and establishment of the requirement ti declare firearms in checked baggage. An additional amentint was issued with an effective date of March 31, 1980, removing Fohihitions against carriage of weapons aboard civil aircraft by military personnel provided the aircraft is Llnder &arter or contract to the armed forces of the Government of the United States and involves only full plane loads of military personnel.
5. DISCUSSION. Certificate holders should include the following information in their security programs, manuals, or internal policy documents to insure that their personnel are trained and familiar with regulatory reguirements regarding carriage of firearms and persons traveling under armed escort. The pertinent FAR sections are discussed below:
a. Section 108.11(a) identifies persons that may be authorized to carry deadly or dangerous weapons aboard airplanes operated by certificate holders where screening is required and further wescribes wocedures that rmst be followed for such carriage. It also clarifies the fact that in addition to officials or eqloyees of the United States and officials or employees of a state or a plitical subdivision of a state or municipality, others may be authorized to carry weapons when a need exists during the flight. However, it restricts the carriage of weapons by any person to only those occasions where it is necessary for an authorized person to have a *apon.accessible in annection with the performance of duty during that period from the tine it would otherwise have been placed in checked baggage until such time as it muld have been returned to the individual after deplaning. In addition, any person who is authorized to carry a weapon aboard a certificate bolder's aircraft other than an official or employee of the United States, or a state E political subdivision of a state or municipality must have successfully oonpleted a cx>urse of training in the use of firearms acceptable to the Administrator. This section also prohibits the certificate holder from servinq an alcoholic beverage to a person having a dangerous or deadly weapon accessible to him or her and further prohibits any such person from drinking any alcoholic beverage while aboard an aircraft operated lq the oartificate holder. It should be noted that crewmembers including the captain must comply with this section.
b. Section 108.11(b) restates for oartificate holders not required to perform screening, the requirements embodied in FAR Section 135.119. Persons authorized to carry firearms on such airplanes include officials of a m.,micipality or state or of the United States and crewmembers and other persons authorized by the certificate holder.
-
c. Section 108.11(c) specifies that no oartificate holder may knowingly permit person to transport, nor may any person transport or tender for transport, any Par 4 Page 3
explosive, incendiary device, or a loaded firearm in checked baqqaqe aboard an airplane. For the purpose of this section, a loaded firearm means a firearm which has a live round of an-munition, cartridqe, detonator, or powder in the &a&er or in a clip, magazine, or cylinder inserted in it.
d. Section 108.11(d) establishes procedures for carriaqe of unloaded firearms in checked baqgage. These procedures include a passenger declaration to the certificate holder that the firearm is unloaded and assurance that the firearm is carried in a container the certificate holder considers appropriate. Many such containers manufactured specificallv for firearms transportation are oorrunercially available. The procedures further provide that where the firearm is other than a shotgun or rifle, the baggaqe in which it is carried must by locked with the passenger retaining the key or combination. All such baqqaqe must be carried in an area inaccessible ti passengers and never may be carried in the flight crew compartment.
e. Section 108,11(e) specifies that no certificate holder may serve any alcoholic beverage to a person having a deadly or dangerous weapon accessible to him or her nor may such person drink any alcoholic beveraqe while aboard an airplane operated by the certificate holder.
f. Section 108.21 provides for the carriage of persons in the custody of armed law enforcement officer(s). It specifies certain reouirements which must be mat before and during such carriage. This section also prohibits certificate holders from serving any alcoholic beverage to any person(s) aboard its aircraft who is (are) under armed esart CXT to those persons having a weapon accessible to them in connection with official duties while aboard the aircraft. This section does not apply to the carriage of passengers under mluntary wotective escort.
6. PFDCEDUFXES FOR CARRIAGE OF WFJYKXS ABOARD AIRCRAFT. Persons authorized to carry weapons fall into two groups. Those in the first group are specified in FAR Sectian 108.11(a)(l)(i). They are Federal (includiq military), state, municipal, county, and political subdivision officials and employees. These parsons are identified in this circular as Law Enforcement Officers (LEO's). The sewnd qroup encompassed by FAR Section 108.ll(a)(l)(ii) are persons such as domestic and foreign guards (Brinks, Pinkerton, etc.) referred to in this circular as persons other than LEo's. An individual in either group, must need to have a weapon accessible in the performance of official duty during that period of tirre from which it wuld have otherwise heen placed in checked baggage until such time as it would have been returned after denlaning. Enclosed as Appendix 1 is a suggested form that can be used b the certificate holder to authenticate these requirements.
a. General Procedures Applicable to All Armed Individuals. Durinq fliqht, should an incident occur (e.g., interference with crewmambers, inebriated individual, etc.) armed individuals should never take independent law enforcement action unless assistance is requested by the captain. Further, to meet regulatory requirements, an individual to be armed durinq fliqht rmst:
Page 4 Par 5
m/x/al AC 108-2
(1) Be authorized to have the weapon.
(2) Notify the certificate holder of the need to have the weapon accessible in oonnection with the performance of dutv during the neriod from the time the individual would otherwise have checked it until the time it would have been returned to the individual after deplaning.
(3) Notify the certificate holder of the flight on whi& the individual intends ti have a wapn at least one hour prior to flight departure; or in an emergency, as soon as practicable.
(4) Present identification to the certificate holder w displaying credentials that include a clear full face picture, the individual's signature, and the signature of an authorizing official or the official seal of the individual's agency.
(5) Not drink any a certificate holder.
alcoholic beverage while aboard an airplane operated by
b. General Procedures wplicable to Certificate Holders. Certificate holders should brief armed individuals that in the event of an incident while in fliqht
(e.g., interference with crewmembers, inebriated individual, etc.) under no circumstances should any independent law enforcement action be taken by such individual unless requested by the captain. Further, to meet regulatory requirements, when a certificate holder carries individuals authorized to he armed, the certificate holder must ensure that:
(1) Prior to boarding, the armed individual is advised of its procedures for the carriage of a deadly or dangerous weapon aboard its airplane. This information may be provided an printed card(s).
(2) The identity of the armed person is known to each law enforcement officer and each employee of the certificate holder responsible for security during the boarding of the aircraft. Discretion should he employed to protect the person's identity.
(3) The pilot in command and other qpropriate crewmembers have been notified of the location of each armed person aboard the aircraft. In the event more than cne armed person is aboard a flight, each armed person must be notified of the seat location of each other armed person(s).
Most certificate holders satisfy the above requirements by use of a form and discreet verbal advice regardirq other armed persons. The form is read and signed by the armed individual and copies are distributed as necessary. To assure that interline transfer of armed individuals does not result in an unknown armed individual aboard, FAA suggests that additional copies of the form or a similar form be appended to the flight coupon(s) to he used for subsequent flight legs. This procedure works well and is endorsed by FAA.

custody;
(4) No alcoholic beverage is served to an armed person or a person in
c. Procedures for Law Enforcement Officers (LEO's). For the purpose of this circular, LEO's are divided into M groups, Federal Law Enforcement Officers and other Law Enforcement Officials.
(1) Procedures for Federal Law Enforcement Officers. Each Federal law enforcement agency that anticipates a need for an authorized emloyee of that agency to carry a deadly m dangerous weapon in the cabin compartment of a certificate holder's airplane should submit to the FAA, Office of Civil Aviation Security, ATIN: Air Operations Security Division, AC.5100, a copy of their policy under which employees under their jurisdiction are required to be armed during flight. FAA will retain a copy of the policy for each Federal agency. A Federal law enforcement official who is authorized within the established policy of the employing agency to carry a weapon aboard a certificate bolder's airplane is reguired to notify the certificate holder involved of the flight on which that person intends to be armed in accordance with the wocedures set forth in subparagraph 6a above. The procedures of subparagraph 6a also *ply to military persons that need to be armed during flight aboard civil aircraft in scheduled or public charter operations.
(2) Procedures for Other J,aw Enforcement Officials. Each officer with a requirement ti carry a deadly or dangerous weapon in the cabin compartnent of a certificate holder's airplane should provide a letter to the certificate holder that specifies the circumstance(s) that create the need to be armed during the flight(s) being utilized. This letter should be on the letterhead of the jurisdiction employing the officer and signed by a supervisory official. Su& a letter should specify the trip itinerary and include a designated period (flight legs) during which the need to be armed in flight will exist. The procedures of subparagraph 6a also qply.
d. Procedures for Armed Persons Other Than LEO's. The wocedures in this paragra# wly tr> armed domestic guards (Brinks, Pinkerton, etc.). Armed persons other than LEO's rmst be authorized by the Adminstrator as ~11 as by the certificate holder. The Administrator issues such authorizations when the persons to be authorized:
(1) Have satisfactorily completed, within the preceding twelve nonths, a course of training in the use of firearms acceptable to the Administrator. Courses of training conducted by m approved by law enforcement agencies (Federal, state, or local) are generally acceptable to the Administrator.
(2) Provide documentary evidence to the certificate holder that indicates satisfactory firearms course corrpletion such as a certificte of completion signed by a supervisory law enforcement official of the. jurisdiction in which the training was conducted.
(3) Have approval of the oertificate holder and are recommended bv name b the certificate holder to the FAA Principal Security Inspector (PSI) assigned. The Page 6 Par 6
PSI will review the documentation and determine if the need to carry firearms is justified. Approval(s) will be granted on a case-by-case basis for a period of time not greater than six months. Normally, the PSI will notify the certificate holder of the approval but should a PSI not be available, the Civil Aviation Security representative of the FAA reqion having qeographic jurisdiction will handle the approval notice.
e. Procedures for Foreign Armed Escorts Acmvanying Foreign Dignitaries.
Occasionally, foreign dignitaries desire to travel on U.S. certificate holder airplanes accompanied by armed escorts provided by the foreign qovernment involved or international organizations such as the United Nations. The procedure for obtaininq FAA authorization as required by FAQ Section 108.11 (a)(l)(ii) for these escorts is for these individuals to submit through their government the nameS and itinerary of the traveler and all escorting personnel involved ti the Department of State. The FAA may issue authorization for escorts who have been trained in the use of firearms within the preceding twelve nonths. The Department of State rmst be advised of suds training and will, in turn, notify the Offioa of Civil Aviation Security, Intelligence and International Security Division (ACS-$OO), specifyinq that the escort has undergone the required training, the travel is official, and will provide the names and itinerary of all individuals involved. The Intelligence and International Security Division will complete the necessary coordination between the FAA, the certificate blder, and the Department of State.
Authorizaticxl by FAA and certification by the State JXpartment will only be made for flights between points in the United States. An exception may be made in the event an agreement has been reached between the State Department and the authorities of the fore+ country in question.
f. Procedures for Armed U.S. Federal Law Enforcement Officials Escorting Foreiqn Dignitaries and Accompanying Personnel. Armed Federal law enforcement officials accompanyinq foreign diqnitaries must provide air carriers with advance notification of their travel in accordance with FAR .Section 108.11, and oxr~ply with other specific requirements specified therein. Should special assistance be required by the LEO, he may wish to contact the appropriate FAA reqion or Civil Aviation Security Field Office (CASJ?O) for assistance (Appendix 2).
7. PROCEDURES FOR AIMED LFC'S ESCORTING PERSONS I33 WEIR CUSWDY ABOARD
CERTIFICATE HOLDER AIRCRAFT (NOI' APPLICARLE TO ARMED ESCORTS OF FOREIGV DIGNITAJXIFS AND OTHER PERS~S UNDER PROTECTIVE OR VOLUNTARY ESCORT). Federal Aviation Requlations Sectian 108.21 contains certain specific procedures whidn must be foilowed by certificate holders and those armed LEO's tie are escorting persons in their custody aboard airplanes for which szinq is required. Procedures for armed escorts are in addition to those already inmrporated as a part of this circular for LM)'s traveling armed. No requlatory requirements exist in FAQ Part 108 governing the escort of persons by unarmed individuals.
a. An armed law enforcemnt escort who has in custody a person being transported aboard an airplane for which screenina is required is required to:
Par 6 Page 7
(1) Notify the certificate holder at least one hour before departure, or in an emergency, as soon as practicable, of the identity of the escorted person and the flight on tiich that person will be carried.
(2) Determine and notify the certificate holder as to whether the escorted person is ansidered in a "maximum risk" category by the cpvermnt entity having custody of the person. Two LEO's are required for the escort of one maximum risk category parson and only ane "maximum risk" person may be carried aboard an airplane. One LEO may escort no more than two persons in a risk category less than that of maximum risk. Where a question arises concerning risk category, the governmental entity responsible for the person in custody should be relied on for such a determination. (FAA believes that the determination of whether a person is considered a "maximum risk" is properly one to be made by the professional law enforcement organization having custody and no attempt should be made herein ti provide a general definition.)
(3) Assure the certificate holder that the individual in custody has been searched and does not have on or about the individual's person or property any article which could be used as a deadly or dangerous weapon.
(4) Be equip@ with adequate restraining devices to be used in the event that a determination is made that restraint of the person in astody is or becomes necessary. It should be noted that some certificate holders do not permit restraining devices to ba used while in flight due to perceived safety/liability concerns that might arise in the event of an incident or an accident. The escorting law enforcement jurisdiction and the certificate holder should have a clear understanding of this issue prior to initiation of the intended air travel.
(5) Assure that the escorted person is acmmpanied at all times and kept under surveillance.
(6) Be familiar with the requirements of the certificate holder.
b. Certificate holders who accept for transportation persons in the custody of armed escorts are required to:
(1) Board the escort(s) with the person(s) in custody before all other enplaning passengers board at the airport where the flight originates, and deplane them after all other passengers have left the airplane at destination.
(2) Have these persons seated in the rear-most available passenger seats that are neither located in any lounge area , nor located next to or directly across from an aircraft exit. Should the rearmost seats be in a "smoking" area and either the armed escort or the person being escorrted indicates a poblem with smoke, crewmembers should attempt to resolve the problem through clearing the adjacent seats/rows or converting the last several rows into a "no smoking" section or by other appropriate action.
Page 8 Par 7
(3) Assure that at least one escort sits between the person in omWdy and any aisle.
(4) Carry no more than one person considered to be in a maximum risk category, and appropriate escorts, on an airplane carrying other passenqers.
(5) Assure no food, beverages, or metal eating utensils are provided an escorted person unless authorized w the escort.
(6) Assure neither the escort(s) nor the person(s) in their mstody are served any alcoholic beverage while aboard the certificate holder's aircraft.
8. CARRIAGE OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION IN CHECKED BACKAGE.
a. Loaded Firearm. No person may transport or offer for transport nor may any certificate holder knowingly permit the transport of a loaded firearm in checked baggage under any conditions.
b. Unloaded Firearm. No person may transport or offer for transport nor may any certificate holder knowingly permit any person to carry a firearm in checked baggage unless the passenger notifies the certificate holder before checkinq the baggage that a firearm is in the checked baqgage and that it is unloaded. The carrier must obtain a declaration either orallv, or in writing, from the person that the firearm is not loaded as specified in paragraph 5d above. A sample form which may be used for this purpose is provided as Appendix 1 to this circular. It may be reproduced and used by the carriers in meeting this regulatory rquirenrent which is set forth in Section 108.11. All firearms rmst be carried in containers suitable to the certificate holder for air shipment. When the firearm is other than one normally fired from the shoulder psition, the container in &ich it is to be carried must be locked and the passenger must have the key or lock combination.
Further, the passenger's name and address should be included inside the baggage.
Checked baggage containing danqerous weapons must not be carried in the flight crew mqartment or any area accessible to passenqers. The topside or interior baggage bins on some smaller aircraft are considered acceptable for storase provided that such bins are secured. The certificate holder should contact FAA security representatives to assure that the test of "inaccessibility" is met when using small airplanes.
C. Small Arms Ammunition. Small arms ammunition must be packed in pasteboard or other inside boxes, or in partitions desiqned to fit snugly in the outside container, or rmst be packed in metal clips. The partitions and metal clips rmst be so designed as to protect the primers fro-n accidental damaqe. The inside boxes, partitions, and matal clips rmst be packed in securely closed stronq outside en or fiberboard boxes or metal containers as prescribed in 49 CF!? 173.101.
9. ACTION. Organizations, agencies, and other persons affected by FAR Part 108 may obtain assistan= and further information frcnn the FAA, Office of Civil Aviation Security, the appropriate reqional Civil Aviation Security Division, or the apprropriate Civil Aviation Security Field Office having jurisdiction over the geographic areas involved. Certificate holders should call upon assisted FAA Par 7 Page 9
- Principal Security Inspectors (PSI's) where assistance or additional information is needed. Alleged violations of the above cited requirements should be reported to FAA regional Civil Aviation Security Field Offices having geographic responsibility for investigation and disposition as appropriate. A list of these offices is enclosed as Appendix 2.
