TSA Security Awareness Training-Renewal

Asked by: 4651 views FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor

Hey guys,

I just have a quick question about the TSA Security Awareness Training for flight instructors. I know that the renewal must be done annually, but I don't understand if I am just suppose to retake the AOPA GA Security course again or what? I can't seem to find a renewal course and the AOPA site says that it shouldn't be used for the renewal, but not that I cannot use it for the renewal. Any guesses?

 

Thanks in advance!

    The “renewal” link brings you back to AOPA’s course. Just take the course and make sure you keep records. See below.

    All active flight instructors, regardless of the training he/she conducts, must complete yearly TSA security awareness training. Training is meant to update flight schools, instructors, and flight school employees on security-related incidents, measures, and procedures that affect their local airport and flight school. Unless the TSA approves an alternative method, one’s initial security training is done online. The TSA’s online Recurrent Security Awareness Training module can be used to meet requirements for recurrent security awareness training.

    Editor’s Note: TSA no longer provides the training courses mentioned above, but redirects visitors to AOPA’s Airport Watch General Aviation Security Course.

    AOPA has also developed a checklist to help flight schools prepare for a TSA inspection. If your flight school goes through an inspection, share your thoughts and comments with AOPA so that we have the most up-to-date information.
