Aircraft Security:Beyond the Flight Deck Door
Vi Lipski, FAA
Matt Schack, FAA
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 2
Topics for Discussion• Background
– Airplane Security Regulatory Actions– Accomplishments
• Design Issues– Flight Deck Bulkhead – Other Design for Security Issues– Transponders
• Procedural Issues– Monitoring/Crew Alerting– Flightdeck Access– Use of Non-Lethal and Lethal Weapons
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 3
Background
• March 2000 - ICAO design security requirements went into effect
• September 11, 2001 - urgent need arose to provide increased security to the flight deck
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 4
Background
• September 2001- Airplane Security Rapid Response Team Formed
• October 2001 - 17 Rapid Response Team Recommendations Published– Flight Deck Doors– Transponders– Video Cameras/Alerting Systems– Crew Training– Aircraft Defensive Methods
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 5
Background
• November 2001 - U.S. Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act
• Act affects both airplane design and operational procedures, including requirements to:– Reinforce flight deck doors– Evaluate video monitoring, transponders, and crew
alerting– Investigate use of firearms by flightcrews– Take any necessary action to ensure safety and
security of the aircraft
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 6
Reinforced Flight Deck Doors
• As of April 9, 2003, over 30 FAA design approvals for reinforced flight deck doors are on over 7,000 airplanes
• Collaboration between industry and national authorities allowed for expeditious certification and installation of reinforced flight deck doors

Part 121 Planned vs. Actual Reinforced flight deck Door Installations
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 7
Doors for Other Aircraft
• Act requested investigation of reinforced flight deck doors on other aircraft and other types of operation
• Comments were solicited from public
• Risk assessment concluded reinforced flight deck doors not necessary beyond what has already been mandated
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 9
Flight Deck Bulkhead
• Flight deck door most critical element of flight deck security
• Flight deck vulnerability is greater than just the door
• A final standard needs to address the complete boundary on new airplanes
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 10
Flight Deck Bulkhead (cont.)
• Notice of proposed rulemaking in work– Adopt part 25 standard for intrusion and
ballistic penetration resistance for the remainder of the boundaries between the flight deck and cabin (bulkhead, floor, ceilings, etc.)
– Consistent with ARAC harmonized recommendations
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 11
Design for Security
• Amendment 97 to Annex 8– Adopts design requirements relating to
security into ICAO standards– Eight different issues addressed
• FAA/JAA/TCCA agree to harmonize on standards to meet ICAO requirements
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 12
The Eight Issues
• Least risk bomb location (design)
• Least risk bomb location (identification)
• Flight deck protection (being addressed separately)
• Flight deck smoke penetration
• Cabin smoke evacuation
• Cargo fire protection• Separation of vital
systems and controls
• Design to facilitate searches
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 13
Least Risk Bomb Location
• Design provision– Currently a fuselage door through
voluntary practice– Proposal would permit continued use of
doors, provided:• Operation issues are considered• Consequences of door loss are considered
• Intended to minimize damage, not necessarily eliminate it
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 14
Flight Deck Smoke Penetration
• Rule would require flight deck to not permit smoke penetration
• Slight positive pressure is means of compliance
• Existing rules address smoke evacuation rather than penetration from other occupied areas
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 15
Cabin Smoke Evacuation
• No current rules address cabin smoke evacuation
• Current approach would permit compliance using a rate of air change, with no further demonstration
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 16
Cargo Fire Protection
• Two Facets:– Agent
• As good as Halon
– System survivability• Either shock or fragment damage
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 17
Separation of Vital Systems and Controls
• ICAO requirement goes beyond security threat
• Not addressed by current rules
• Approach is “damage based” (rather than “threat based”)
• Rule assumes damage within a “sphere”
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 18
Design to Facilitate Searches
• Current ICAO rules require search of interior• Design should facilitate searches• Areas of concern include:
– Life vest pouches– Lavatories– Area above Stowage compartments
• Should focus on making search easier (rather concealment more difficult)
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 19
Intended Applicability
• “Commercial” operation
• 60 or more Passengers
• 100,000 lbs or more MTGW
• All-cargo airplanes not subject to all proposed requirements
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 20
Rulemaking Status
• ARAC HWG tasked with developing recommendations to implement ICAO standards
• Recommendations accepted by the Transport Airplane and Engine Issues Group (with one exception)
• FAA is waiting for transmittal of recommendations
• Notice of proposed rulemaking planned to address ARAC recommendations
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 21
Transponders
• Notice of proposed rulemaking issued January 8, 2003– Requires continuous operating transponders– Applicable to all Part 121 operated airplanes– Proposed compliance date March 29, 2005
• FAA evaluating comments to determine next actions
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 23
Monitoring/Alerting
• ICAO Annex 6, Amendment 27 adopted retrofit requirements for flight deck doors:– New standards for monitoring area outside
flight deck– New standards for alerting for security
purposes– Effective for existing operations November
2003
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 24
Monitoring/Alerting (cont.)
• Notice of proposed rulemaking to address ICAO amendments targeted for June of 2003
• Proposed requirements for flight deck door monitoring and crew alerting
• JAA coordination in work
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 25
Lethal & Non-Lethal Weaponry• U.S. Congress enacted the Homeland
Security Act in 2002
• TSA establishing voluntary program to deputize pilots
• Small group of pilots trained and authorized to carry guns in flight deck
• FAA to assess risk of catastrophic failure of airplane design as a result of discharge
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 26
Lethal & Non-Lethal Weaponry• Notice 8400.41: Access to current and past
SD’s – All offices have access
• Notice 8400.46: Federal Flight Deck Officers (FFDO) – Arming Pilots Against Terrorism Act – First Class completed 4/19/03
• FFDO SOP – Issued on 4/18/03
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 27
Flight Deck Access
• Notice 8400.xx: Procedures for Opening, Closing, and Locking of Flight Crew Compartment Doors
• Comprehensive Security Program for All-Cargo Carriers Regardless of Doors – FY03
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 28
Personnel Licensing
• FAA to study the feasibility of requiring all pilot licenses to incorporate a photograph of the license holder and appropriate biometric imprints
• Status: Under review by Flight Standards
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 29
Flight Standards Issues
• New 110A will be issued to ASI starting in May 2003
• NPRM – Cabin Door Monitoring (June 2003)
FAAFAA
20th Annual JAA/FAA International Conference 30
Summary
• Reinforced flight deck doors are installed on airplanes operating under parts 121 & 129
• FAA continues to actively work on other rulemaking related to future security initiatives
• FAA seeks industry and national authority input on security related initiatives
