  • The George Washington University
  • Aviation Institute

2
Discussion topics
  • What is the ICAO standard that requires this
    program? Why?
  • Who should prepare the program?
  • What should it contain?
  • What does it mean at the airport level?

3
Required by
  • Annex 17
  • to the Convention on
  • International Civil Aviation
  • Security
  • Seventh Edition
  • April 2002
  • Effective on 1 July 2002

ICAO Security Manual
  • Sixth Edition of the ICAO Security Manual
    contains some guidelines and recommendations

National Civil Aviation Security Quality Control
Program
  • 3.4.4 Each Contracting State shall require
    the Appropriate Authority to ensure the
    development, implementation and maintenance of a
    national civil aviation security quality control
    programme to ensure the effectiveness of its
    national civil aviation security programme.

8
Annex 17, Chapter 3
  • 3.4.5 Each Contracting State shall arrange
    for surveys to identify security needs, arrange
    for inspections of the implementation of security
    controls and arrange tests of security controls
    to assess their effectiveness.

9
Surveys, Inspections, Tests
  • Not a new Standard
  • Survey identify what is needed to comply with
    Annex 17
  • Inspection - determine that required
    resources/procedures are in place
  • Test make sure it all works

10
What do these mean?
  • Audit
  • Survey
  • Inspection
  • Test

?
11
But --------
  • ICAO Contracting States do NOT have to use the
    exact same terms
  • However, the same concepts should be used

12
Audit
  • A complete review of a major security program for
    overall program compliance
  • Looks at all parts
  • Takes a long time and many people

13
Audit
  • ICAO Universal Security Audit Program is a good
    example
  • Looks at national oversight of the aviation
    security requirements

14
What Is Audited?
  • A major component of the National Program
  • An airlines entire program
  • An airports entire program

15
Survey
  • A survey is a review of a specific part of a
    program for needs
  • Surveys can be done at national and airport level
  • Looks at equipment, personnel, and procedures
    necessary to do the task

16
What Is Surveyed?
  • Usually a specific part of a national or an
    airport program
  • Major programs should be broken down to discrete
    components

17
Audits and Surveys
  • Should have participation of all involved in the
    program
  • NOT looking at individual performance
  • Should be scheduled and all notified of when it
    will take place

18
Inspection
  • Usually looks at very specific parts of airport
    security programs
  • Determines if necessary personnel, equipment, and
    procedures are in place to comply with program
  • Can be scheduled or no-notice

19
What Is Inspected?
  • Passenger screening
  • Cargo security
  • Hold baggage screening
  • Airside access control

20
Tests
  • An operational assessment of a very specific part
    of a security program
  • Usually test procedures and personnel, but could
    be test of equipment

21
Tests
  • Tests of personnel and procedures must be
    no-notice and realistic
  • Tests of equipment can be done at any time
  • Both require preparation

22
Other Quality Control Issues
  • Personnel selection
  • Training
  • Contingency Plans
  • Exercises and drills

23
Why a National Quality Control Program?
  • Demands national attention to the need for
    audits, surveys, inspections, and tests
  • Insure standardized applications at all
    international airports in the State
  • Allows data from all airports to be comparable
    and analyzed for national trends
  • States were not doing it before

24
Who Is Responsible?
  • The national level of the Appropriate Authority
    prepares, coordinates, and oversees the National
    Quality Control Program
  • Should have considerable input from airports and
    other concerned organizations

25
What Should It Contain?
  • An itemization of things that should be audited,
    surveyed, inspected, tested, or reviewed
  • Standards for how each must be done
  • A schedule for the above items
  • A means to review that all have been done
    according to the standards/schedule
  • Ability to analyze the results and make necessary
    changes

26
Creating the Program
  • States are already doing many of these tasks, but
    not systematically
  • National attention and direction is critical to
    begin and maintain
  • Provides specific direction and detail to those
    tasked

27
National Compliance
  • A strong program allows analysis of all
    international airport security programs and
    procedures
  • This will be a focus of the ICAO Audit teams
  • Leads to increased aviation security

28
My Recommendations
  • Start now
  • Start small
  • Seek advice and guidance
  • Assign to a specific individual as a long-term
    assignment
  • Give program high-level exposure

29
Recommendations
  • Understand that all programs can be made better
  • Program reviewed annually with airports,
    airlines, key personnel
  • Test, test, and test!
  • Records, records, and records!

30
What We Discussed
  • The ICAO standard that requires this program and
    why needed
  • Who should prepare the program
  • What the program should contain
  • What the program means at the airport level
