**ADVISORY CIRCULAR**

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPQRTATION Federal Aviation Administration Washington, D.C.

FAR GUIDANCE MATERIAL Subject : FOREIGN AIRCARRIERSECURITY 1 PURPOSE. This circular provides information and guidance for the kplementaticn of Change 7 to Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 129 (sections 129.25, 129.26, and 129.27) which became effective September 11, 1981.

The sensitive nature of many security procedures precludes full discussion in this circular. However, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Civil Aviation Security Special Agents (FAA Security Inspectors) located throughout the United States, as well as Foreign Air Carrier Principal Security Inspectors (FAG/PSI's), located at FAA offices in Brussels, Belgium, and at FAA Regional Headquarters in the United States having responsibility for those foreign air mrriers operating within the FAA offices' geographical area of responsibility, are available tr> discuss the man issues that may arise regarding implementation and procedural details of security -( safeguards. A list of Civil Aviation Security Offices and Principal Security Inspectors for foreign air mrriers is included as Appendix 1, 2 l CANCELrTION. AC 129-2, dated April 30, 1979, Subject: Aviation Security:

Certain Foreign Air Carrier Operators.

3 l BACKGROUND. On November 1, 1979, the FAA published Notice of Proposed Rulemaking No. 79-17 (44 FR 63048), plroposing to extend FAA security regulations applicable to scheduled passenger and public charter operations of U.S. certificate holders and foreign air carriers and U.S. intrastate operators to ertain air taxi operators and small airplane operations conducted by U.S. and foreign operators.

It also proposed to simplify these regulations and ansolidate them (for U.S.

certificate holders) into a new part of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR Part 108, Airplane Operator Security) to facilitate public access tL, security regulations. At the sa time it was proposed to .-amend FAR Part 107, Airport Security, tc, reflect the different levels of security safeguards U.S. airport operators muld be required ti implement. The security requirements imposed on airport operators b amended FAR Part 107 are tailored to meet the differing levels of threat whi& exist forr different sizes and types of airplane operations. FAR Part 108 and the amendments ti FAR Parts 107 and 129 were effective on September 11, 1981.

a. Since their inception in 1972, FAA security regulations have bzen &signed to meet threats of hijacking and other crimes against the specific kinds of aircraft operations that have proven to be mst attractive to the potential hijacker or saboteur. Usually, these operations have in~lved large transport type airplanes with scheduled departure times.

b Following passage of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 (Deregulation Act), the number of these operations increased. The Deregulation Act carried with it a mandate that there be no lessening of safety in situations here commuter air carriers provide substitute servie on routes previously served by large air carriers, Section 33(c)(3) of the Deregulation Act requires the FAA to %qose requirements upon sud3 commuter air carriers &I assure that the level of safety provided to persons traveling an such cmmuter air carriers is, ti the maximum feasible extent, equivalent to the level of safety provided to persons traveling on certificate holders tiich provide service prsuant to mzrtificates issued under Section 401 of this title."

CL Considering the economic !xxden that could be imposed on the small airport and airplane operators and the fact that the hijacking threat directed against mmmuters had not significantly increased, Fm Part 108, and the changes ti FAR Part 129, as amended, requires implementing a full security program only for scheduled and public charter operations with airplanes having a passenger seating configuration of more than 60 seats and for operations providing deplaned passengers access to a sterile area at the next landing when that access is not controlled by another airplane operator% security program.

d For operations with airplanes having a passenger seating configuration of more &an 30 but less than 61 seats, a full security program need not be routinely implemented. A full security prrogram for these -rations will have to be implemented only if the FAA notifies the airplane operator that a security threat exists with respect to a particular operation or set of operations. The final determination of whether such a threat exists will be made by FAA% Director of Civil Aviation Security. while the frequency and extent of these threats cannot be predicted, this contingency should seldan be invoked. If it is, it will probably not involve all airplane -rations or all points served by a single operator, nor would all precautions have to be taken in every contingency.

e. Throughout the &anges to FAR section 129025V the term "airplane‘* instead of "aircraft" is used since threatened operations ha= historically only involved airplanes and seldom have involved other aircraft such as helicopters.

4 DEFINITIONS. Terms used in FAR Part 129, section 129.25, are defined in pkagraph (a) of that section as follows:

Par 3

### Page 3

a. "Certificate holder" means a person holding an FAA air carrier crperatinq

- certificate or operating certificate when that person engages in scheduled passenger or public &arter passenger operations or both, * 1 b "Passenger seating configuration" means the total number of seats for which the aircraft is type ertificated that can be made available for passenger use aboard a flight and includes that seat in certain airplanes which may be used by a representative of the Administrator to conduct flight decks but is available for revenue purposes on other occasions.

c. "Private charter" means any dnarter for kJhich the charterer engages the total capacity of an airplane for the carriage only of:

(1) contract with country; or

(2) Passengers in civil or military air rrw>vements conducted under the Govemnt of the United States or the Government of a foreign ' Passengers invited by the charterer, the cost of &ich is borne entirely by the charterer and not directly or indirectly by the individual passengers.

d l "Public charter" means any charter that is not a "private dlarter."

e. "Scheduled passenger operations" means holding out t-a the public of air transportation service for passengers from identified air terminals at a set time announced by timetable or schedule published in a newspaper, magazine, or other advertising medium.

f "Sterile area" mzans an area tr> tiich access is oontrolled by the inspection of persons and property in accordance with an approved security program or a security Fogram used in acardance with FAR section 129.25. .

5 APPLICAE3ILITY. The requirements contained in FAR Part 129, sections 129.25, li9.26, and 129.27f are applicable to all foreign air carriers tie hold a permit issued by the Civil Aeronautics Board under Section 402 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (49 USC 1372) I landing or taking off airplanes in the United States, tien they engage in scheduled or public charter operations under specified conditions.

Helicopters and all-cargo operations are specifically excluded from security requirements as are all operations conducted in airplanes with a seating configuration of 1 through 30 seats tiere the cperator does not desire passenger access to a sterile area upon deplanement.

6 SECURITYPIDGPAM- ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION. Although foreign air carriers are not required ti sutxnit their security programs t(3 the Administrator for approval, each such carrier is required to submit, upon his request and in Par 4

### Page 4

acardance with applicable law, informat ion with respect to the security program applicable to its operations and the implementation thereof. Three distinct types of scheduled OT public charter aperations t(3 or from the United States generate the requirement for foreign air carrier adoption and use of a security program. Those - operations are as follows:

a. *rations with an airplane having a passenger seating configuration of more than 60 seats.

b. *rations that provide deplaned passengers access, that is not otherwise controlled by a certificate holder using an approved security progra or a foreign air carrier using a security program required-by FAR section 129.25, to a sterile area. This situation is discussed below in paragraph 11,

c. Each operation with an airplane having a passenger seating configuration of more than 30 but less than 61 seats, However, unless FAA notifies the foreign air carrier of a security threat, the foreign air carrier must aopt and implement a program that only deals with law enfor&ment availability ti respond to an incident. Threat notification procedures and circumstances are discussed in paragraph 14 and law enforcement requirements are discussed in paragraph 12.

7 0 SECURITY PRQGRAM - FORM, COJYTENT,ANDAvAILAE3ILITY,

a. FAR Part 129, section 129.25, states that a security program required by the regulation, as detailed in paragraph 6a,, b.l w c. above, shall be designed to prevent x deter the carriage aboard airplanes of any explosive, incendiary device, or deadly cx dangerous weapon an or about each individual's person or accessible property, except as provided in FAR Part 129, section 129.27, through screening by weapon detecting procedures or facilities. Further, the security program is required to be designed ti prohibit unauthorized access to airplanes, ensure that baggage is accepted by a responsible agent of the foreign air carrier, and prevent cargo and checked baggage frcan being loaded aboard its airplanes unless handled in accordance with the foreign air carrier's security procedures and shall include the procedures used tr> comply with applicable requirements regarding law enforcement officers. Each of these regulatory areas is 'discussed below in a .separate paragraph,

b. A sample security Fogram meting the requirements of FAR Part 129, sections 129.25, 129.26, and 129.27, is available'for, use by all foreign air carriers. This program will lessen the foreign air carrier's administrative burden. The FAA encourages adoptim of this security progrirm tr> ensure uniform implemmtation of security wocedures, and will be pleased to work with the foreign air carrier to explain in detail the substan- of that program. Principal Security Inspectors for foreign air carriers will provide information on the sample foreign Par 6

### Page 5

air carrier security wogram to their respective foreign air carriers upon request.

8 0 SCREENINGOF PASSENGERSANDPROPER!IY,

a. Foreign air carriers required to conduct screening include those landing or taking off in the United States in scheduled or public charter passenger operations with airplanes having a passenger seating configuration of more than 60 seats cr 1 through 60 seats where the deplaned passengers will have uncontrolled access to a sterile area. Sterile area access is discussed in paragraph 11.

Additionally, 31 through 60 seat airplane operations where no sterile area access is desired may be required to screen if FAA declares that a threat exists sufficient to require such protection. This aspect is discussed below in paragraph 14, Foreign air carriers required to screen or otherwise electing to screen may choose to utilize the screening facilities of another foreign air .

carrier operating under a security Fogram or a certificate holder cperating under an FAA approved security program or, of course, may establish a separate screening system. In any case, the foreign airacarrier is responsible for assuring that the screening system and procedures meet FAA requirements. Foreign air carriers performing screening for the purpose of providing sterile area access to their passengers have se&&l alternatives available. -Assuming they are able to secure agreement from the concerned parties, they may elect to screen at the enplanement airport or may screen or have another foreign air carrier or certificate holder screen at the U.S. deplanement airport. Such foreign air carriers are not required to screen if their access m the sterile area is controlled through surveillance and esmrt procedures. Details concerning actual screening wocedures are included . in the Foreign Air Carrier Security Program and are not subject tr3 discussion in this circular.

b The following types of screening plans apply to all points in the U.S.I and should be adaptable for use at most foreign screening points:

(1) Concourse Plan. Under this plan, an area beyond the screening point is established as a sterile area. Passengers and visitors are separated tr) the extent possible. If visitors are to be permitted into the sterile area, they must be screened prior ti entry. Any person who exits and then reenters a sterile area must be screened. The sterile area must be properly secured qainst unauthorized entrance and exit. Deplaning intransit passengers should be screened before entering or be esmrted through if it cannot be determined &ether such passengers have ken screened at their point of origin. Physical barriers should be mnstructed when practical to reroute the entry of arriving passengers to eliminate the possibility of the intermingling of unscreened passengers with screened passengers in the sterile area.

Par 7

### Page 6

(2) Hold Area Plan. Under this plan, passengers are screened as they pass into a hold area, which must bz maintained as a sterile area during operational periods. Also, the hold area must be searched if unsecured before use.

(3) Gate Plan. Under this plan, passengers are screened as they board the airplane, when leaving the gate for the airplane, or when entering a jetway or ground transport vehicle. .

9 l CARRIAGE OF WEAPONS.

a. Foreign air carriers mst assure that no person has a firearm or other deadly cx dangerous weapon accessible while aboard an airplane being operated in the United States, unless that person is authorized pursuant to FAR Part 129, section 129.27. Section 129,27(a) identifies persons that may be authorized by the state or by the foreign air carrier to carry &adly or dangerous weapons aboard airplanes operated by those foreign air carriers in the United States.

b Foreign air carriers may not knowingly allow carriage of a deadly or dangerous weapon in checked baggage nor mzly individuals carry a deadly or dangerous weapon in checked baggage while aboard an airplane being aperated in the United States, unless the procedural requirements of Fm Part 129, section 129.27 are met. Those requirements are that:

(1) The passenger has notified the foreign air carrier before &ecking the baggage that the we- is in the baggage, and

(2) The baggage is carried in an area inaccessible to passengers.

C. In the interest of safety, foreign air carriers should establish procedures tc) assure that only unloaded firearms are carried in checked baggage.

These procedures may include a passenger declaration tL, the foreign air carrier that the firearm is unloaded and assurance that the firearm is carried in a container the foreign air carrier considers appropriate. Many su& containers manufactured specifically for firearms transportation are amercially available.

In addition, the procedures should other than a shotgun or rifle, the only the passenger retains the key carried in an area inaccessible to flight crew mmpartment.

provide that in those cases where the firearm is baggage in tklich it is carried is locked and 0T combination. All su& baggage must be passengers and should never be carried in the 10 SECURITY OF AIRPLNWS AND FACILITIES. All foreign air carriers required to &duct screening are also required to carry out a number of security procedures designed to assure the safety of their airplanes and facilities. Such'Focedures include prohibiting unauthorized access to the airplane, ensuring that baggage carried in the airplane is hecked in by a responsible agent and that Par 8

### Page 7

6110182 AC 129-3 identification is obtained from unknown shippers; ensuring that cargo and checked baggage are handled in a manner that prohibits unauthorized access; and conducting a security inspection of the airplane before placing it in service and after it has been left unattended. Detailed procedures regardiw the abow control functions may be obtained by contacting the foreign air carrier PSI having responsibility for that carrier.

11 . ACCESS To STERILE AREZiS.

a. Foreign air mrriers operating airplanes of any seating confiquration to or from the United States may not discharge scheduled or public barter passengers into a sterile area unless:

(1) The passengers and their accessible items are poperly screened by .

the airplane operator or another operator using a security program; or

(2) Their access is crontrolled through surveillance and escort procedures or through the screening procedures of another operator. Thus, passengers may have access to a sterile area here the discharging operator has made a @or agreement with another FAA certificate holder or foreign air carrier, or in some cases the airport operator, having responsibility for the sterile area either for esmrt of the deplaning passengers into, through, and out of the sterile area or for the screening of those passengers before entry. If a carrier chooses to implement an escort procedure, sud? esart should be on a ratio of carrier representatives per passengers that assures adequate safequards tiile transiting nonsterile areas. In the US., this ratio changes dependins on the physical layout, congestion, and other factors. In some cases, a ratio of one to two is necessary. Such arrangements should be coordinated in advance with the air carrier having responsibility for security of the sterile area through tiich escort is planned.

Without these arrangements, foreign air carrier operators not otherwise required by FAR Part 129 section 129,25(b)(l) to screen their passengers who wish ti deplane their passenqers into a sterile area are required by 129,25(b)(2) to adopt and implement al.1 the provisions of an appropriate security program with respect to that passenger operation. This requires that:

(i) 100 percent screening of all passengers and their accessible items be ampleted before the last departure before entering the U.SoI and any departure within the U.S.;

(ii) The airplane be wotected; and

(iii) Procedures be used to prevent or deter the introduction s3f explosives and incendiaries into hecked baggage for those flights.

b m many smaller airplanes where passengers have access to a sterile area upon deplanement, checked baggage is carried in'a compartment in the nose of the aircraft or in a spa= adjacent to the passenger seating area and is returned to the passenger either aboard the airplane upon landing or on the air operations area upon deplanement prior to entry into the sterile area. Should the passenger desire to take this baggage into the sterile area, it must be screened for firearms, Par 10 7

### Page 8

AC 129-3 6/10/W explosives, incendiary devices, and deadly = dangerous Firtapons even though the baggage may have been transported aboard the aircraft as checked baggage. If the operator'ssecurity program provides procedures for screening decked baggage for explosive devices it must follow sub procedures. Screening for firearms may be accorrvlished at the deplanement or enplanement airport and may be accomplished by hand sear& or X-ray search. An alternative ti such screening is for the certificate holder to arrange for the baggage to be transported by its employees or by a gaining certificate holder's employees or others in the air operations area either for interline transfer to another ertificate holder or return to the passenger after he or she exits the sterile area. Specific procedures tz> deal with the type of deplanement/screening/escort operations discussed above may be obtained from the appropriate FAA Principal Security Inspector.

12 LZYW ENFoRClZMENT OFFICERS. When a foreign air carrier is required to implement a iecurity screening system at an airport in the United States governed by U.S.

airport security requirements (FAR Part 107), the airport operator is rquired to provide law enforcement support for that screening. When a foreign air carrier conducts operations from an airport in the U.S. not governed by FAR Part 107 and is required to u&e a screenirq system because the operation is a public charter, the foreign air carrier is required to provide law enforcement officers to support the screening system. An airport is governed by FAR Part 107 when it regularly serves the scheduled passenger operations of a foreign air carrier required to have a security program by FAR sectian 129.25.

a. At U.S. airports regularly serving scheduled passenger -rations of certificate holders and foreign air carriers utilizing airplanes with mxe than 60 seats, the airport operator is required to adhere to the current provisions of FAR Part 107 including providing law enforcement officers to support screening.

b. At those airports in the United States regularly serving scheduled passenger operations utilizing 31- through 60-passenger seat airplanes and at which the airplane operator is not required to screen, the airplane operator will normally only have tc> implement those portions of the program that call for (1) having procedures for oontacting the law enforcement agency identified by the airport operator and arranging for response ti an incident when needed; ati (2) advising appropriate employees, including crewmembers, of the Focedures and bw to use them.

(1) The airport operator, under such circumstances, must assure that law enforcement officers are available and committed to respond tL) the airplane operator's request for assistance and include such information in its security program as detailed in the following paragraph. Responsibility for establishing and implementing the actual arrangements and-for obtaining assistance in the case of an incident rests with the foreign air carrier.

Par 11

### Page 9

6110182 AC 129-3

(2) For these operations (31 thru 60 seat airplanes) in the United States, the airport operator is required t(3 submit to the FAA for qproval a security Fogram that identifies the law enforcement support available to respond upon request of the airplane operator, a description of the procedure TV be used by the foreign air carrier to summon support, a description of the training the law enforcement officers havle received, and a description of the system for recording law enforcement actions taken in support of aviation security as called for by FAR Sectia 107.23.

c. If a foreign air carrier using airplanes with less than 61 passenger seats operating in the United States must adopt and carry out a full security program with a screening system to gain access ti a sterile area, the airport operator must provide law enforcement support during all required passenger screening operations.

The airporrt operator is required to submit to the FAA for approval a security . program identifying the law enforcement support, the training received by 1~ enforcement officers, and a description of the system for recording law enforcement actions taken in support of aviation security. These law enforcement support requirements are the anly security requirements imposed on the airport operator for operations in the United States with airplanes configured for less than 61 passenger seats here screening is performed under a required security ~ogram to gain access to a sterile area upon deplanement.

d l Law enforcement support (LEO) for screening provided by foreign air . carriers:

(1) For a public barter using an airplane with mxe than 60 seats from an airport in the united States not governed by FAR Part 107, the foreign air carrier mst provide LEO support. Should the airport in the united States be governed by FAR Part 107 by virtue of other scheduled service & an operator required to have a program 4 FAR Part 129, section 129.25, or FAR Part 108, then the airport operator must furnish the LEO to support the public charter departure.

(2) The foreign air arrier should plrovide law enforcement support at an airport in the united States not governed by FAR Part 107 when, to further campany policy OT for other reasons, it voluntarily elects to have a program and to screen flights in the United States using airplanes of less than 31 seats in scheduled operations or airplanes of less than 61 seats in dxxrter operations. In these cases, the airport operator is not governed by FAR Part 107 by virtue of suds service and where it is not otherwise governed by FAR Part 107 because of other service, the foreign air carrier should furnish the LEO.

NOTE: Law enforcement officers in the United States *en required to be furnished by the foreign air carrier must meet the training and qualification standards enumerated in FAR section lO7.17.

Par 12

### Page 10

e. Where a foreign air carrier -rating l-30 seat airplanes deplanes passengers inti a sterile area in the United States and, because of su& operations, is required to have a security Fogram, the airport operator is required to furnish law enforcement officers tr3 support the screening process.

f @I. September 11, 1981, FAA adopted flexible law enforcement requirements for use by airport operators in the United States. These requirements provided options for airports in the way they meet regulatory responsibilities t(3 provide law enforcement officers ti support passenger screening systems. To secure FAA approval of a flexible LED system, all airlines (foreign and domestic) utilizing the affected screening point(s) must agree tL) share responsibility for implemnting

- procedures designed to strengthen the screening point(s). Should a foreign air carrier perceive the ne& or benefit tL, become involved in su& a system within the United States, it will be necessary for that foreign air carrier to update its security program information to include provisions for the necessary strengthened procedures. Principal Security Inspectors will be pleased tL, discuss the many aspects of this program with foreign air carriers upon request.

13 USE OF X-RAY SYSTEMS. FAR Part 129, section 129.26, prescribes detailed procedures for the use of X-ray system to assure the safety of X-ray operators and others mrking in close proximity to the devices. Foreign air carriers utilizing or planning to utilize X-ray devices should review those requirements closely and discuss any questions resulting from that review with the appropriate FAA Principal Security Inspector.

14 E30MEMDAIRPIRACYTE!lREATS. .' FAR Part 129, section 129.25, establishes procedures for the foreign air carrier operating flights ti or fran the United States to follow upon receipt of a bomb threat or information that an act or suspected act of air piracy has been committed. Upon receipt of a boti threat against a specific aircraft, each foreign air carrier is required to attempt to determine whether ar not any explosive or incendiary devicle is aboard the airplane involved by anducting a security inspection on the ground before the next flight to or frm the U.S., or, if the airplane is in flight to a place in the U.S.I immediately after its next landing, Further, if the airplane is being aperated on the ground, the foreign air carrier is required to advise the pilot in carrnmand to immeaiately subit the airplane for an inspection or if the airplane is in flight, advise the pilot in command of all pertinent information available so that necessary emergency action can be taken.

a, Immediately upon receiving information that a bomb or air piracy threat has been made against an airplane in the U.S. or in flight ti a place in the U.S.I the foreign air carrier is required to notify the FAA Administrator. This notice 10 Par 12

### Page 11

can be acmqlished by contacting the nearest air traffic oMltro1 facility or by advising the amropriate FAA Civil Aviation Security Office listed in Appendix 1.

If the airplane is in airspace under other than United States jurisdiction, the foreign air carrier is al= required to notify the appropriate authorities of the country in whose territory the airplane is located and, if the airplane is in flight, the appropriate authorities of the country in whose territory the airplane is to land. Notification to the appropriate air traffic antrolling authority is normally sufficient action tL> meet this requirement.

b One other aspect of threat clonditions covered by FAR Part 129, sectio; 129.25, concerns the requirement that a foreign air carrier operating 31- through 600seat airplanes must be prepared to adopt and use a full security program for all or parts of its operations ti or within the U.S. upon notification by FAA's Director of Civil Aviation Security that a threat exists. Such a threat would exist, for example, where operations in this category have been subjected to' hijacking and a specific threat has been made that rrPre-hijackings will be perpetrated. Such a threat might also exist where information has been received or developed concerning plrobable criminal acts against airplanes in this category without a prior hijacking. !Phis type of information would be specific and FAA will not require adoption and use of contingency wocedures routinely. FAA will consult with the affected foreign air carrier, the U.S. intelligence community and others, prior to "declaring" a threat andition sufficient to require adoption and use of contingency procedures. FAA will give significant weight ti the views of impacted foreign air carriers during such consultations. While specific antingency procedures are not subject ti discussion herein, FAA anticipates that all such procedures would not need to be adopted and used for every threat. For instance, if the specific threat is that an explosive device will be thrown over a fence at a specific airplane, the operator might only adopt and use those procedures dealing with airplane security and perimeter control. In any event, since protection against a specific threat is in the foreign air carrier's own best interests, FAA will work closely with the affected party tc, design mutually acceptable, adequate contingency procedures ti deal with any specific threat that develops.

15 CREW!BMBER EMERGENCY TRAINING. Foreign air carriers operating airplanes in thi United States are encouraged to provide antihijack training for clcewmembers.

Guidance on recommended training programs is available from FAA upon request.
