Aviation Security

TSA layers of security are the different measures that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) puts in place to protect travelers. The TSA has a layered approach to security, which means they have multiple layers of protection in order to keep you safe while traveling.

TSA Layers of Security TSA has three layers of security: the first layer is called Screening, and this is what most people think of when they hear “security.” The second layer is called Pre-Check, which allows you to bypass some of the lines at airports by getting a trusted traveler program (TTP). The third layer is known as TSA Pre check, which allows you to get through airport security faster with a trusted traveler program (TTP).
Another layer of U.S aviation security is the no- fly list and passenger pre screening program (NSPP). The no-fly list is a database maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration that contains the names of people who are not allowed to fly in or out of any airport, even if they have valid IDs. Passengers on NSPP must be screened with a full- body scanner before boarding.
The passenger pre screening program was created in response to 9/11 and allows passengers to go through security more quickly at airports by using an automated kiosk instead of going through traditional screening methods. The reason that aviation security takes all these measures is just to keep people safe when flying, 9/11 played. Major part in increasing our security so we can’t prevent things like that from happening How TSA prevents fake documents. TSA has a few ways to prevent fake doc fraud. The first is by making sure the person who is presenting themselves as an official TSA agent and/or police officer, are in fact who they say they are. This is done by verifying their identity with a government-issued ID card or driver’s license. Second way that prevents fake doc fraud is by checking all of the information on the IDs and licenses to make sure it matches up with what’s on file from other government agencies such as Social Security Administration (SSA) and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The Transportation Security Administration has implemented a number of programs in an effort to improve security at airports. The TSA's Primary Flight Screening Program, which began in 2002, requires all passengers flying within the United States or its territories to go through screening before they board their planes. This is done by using a walk-through metal detector that scans for concealed weapons and explosives. Passengers who choose not to use this program must undergo additional screening measures, including being patted down by
hand.

Ethics In Aviation Maintenance

Image
 When we talk about ethics people tend to throw out a saying of "doing the right thing". But what does that actually mean, "doing the right thing". To understand ethics is to understand morals, and for a person to understand morals this same person must separate their own personal beliefs and put themselves in someone else's shoes. The reason I say this is because we are all different and we all come from a different background, different upcoming, different cultures and beliefs. This can also factor into why people have a different way of how they view right and wrong.  A current issue in the aviation field in todays world is the constant battle between pilots and maintainers. When we hear about crashes like the recent one at Hill AFB and the F-35. maintainers usually panic because most leadership officials will start to nitpick at maintenance things unrelated to the crash. people will start to assume and make up their own story on what they think could've ...

Why Aircraft Deicing is Critical for Flight Safety

 When we talk about Environmental Factors on Aircraft performance we tend to jump to thunderstorms, strong winds, snow, and ice just to name a few. these are all things that can have a major impact on flight operations for an aircraft. Today I have a short story on how Environments play a major role in performance on aircraft. in England we usually get pretty cold winters, some where from like 0 degrees to -5 degrees Celsius some nights. well during a week of weather like this we usually get aircraft that suffer from frozen flight controls or ice/ snow on the wing. typical practice is just to get the De-Icer out and spray the jets down before crew show and things. if you didn't know what a De-Icer is, its basically a truck that spays a chemical to essentially defrost the jet. during a normal work morning we ran into a situation where our De-Icer had actually broken down and we couldn't deice the jets. as a result our take off times where pushed back and leadership wanted to tak...
