10.1.1 An aviation security training programme addresses the operator’s procedures related to cabin
crew members’ security-related duties and responsibilities, as per the operations manual, and other
regulatory or national material.
10.1.2 The goal of aviation security training is to provide crew members with the knowledge and
skills to identify and respond appropriately to various security threats so as to prevent and/or minimize the
consequences of acts of unlawful interference.
10.1.3 Aviation security training must be conducted in accordance with national regulations, where
applicable.
Note.— Guidance on aviation security is contained in the ICAO Aviation Security Manual (Doc 8973)
and the Manual on the Implementation of the Security Provisions of Annex 6 (Doc 9811).
10.2.2 While the main training aspects addressed in this chapter are related to responding to a
security threat, it is important that the preventive measures not be overlooked. Many of these preventive
concepts are addressed in other chapters of this manual but they are referenced below as a reminder.
10.2.3 As per ICAO Annex 6 SARPs, an aviation security training programme shall include the
following elements, as a minimum:
d) use of non-lethal protective devices assigned to crew members whose use is authorized
by the State of the Operator;
h) aeroplane search procedures and guidance on least-risk bomb locations where practicable.
10.2.4 The content of this chapter focuses on the development of initial training. For recurrent
training, the content may vary in regards to the competency elements covered, the conditions used for
training as well as the knowledge and skills that may be assessed.
10.3.1 The preventive measures during normal operations are addressed in Chapter 5, Normal
Operations Training, which address preventive measures and techniques in relation to passengers,
baggage, cargo, mail, equipment, stores and supplies intended for carriage on an aircraft so that cabin
crew can contribute to the prevention of acts of sabotage or other forms of unlawful interference.
Examples may include performance of pre-flight security checks of the cabin or galley equipment, and
monitoring of passengers during the boarding process.
10.4.1 Cabin crew should recognize that the integrity and security of the flight crew deck is essential
so that the aircraft cannot be used as a weapon. Procedures must be in place to ensure that flight deck
access is coordinated between the cabin crew and the flight crew. Cabin crew compliance to the
access/egress procedures is an integral part of preventing unlawful interference.
10.4.2 Training on security procedures related to flight deck access during normal conditions is
further addressed in Chapter 5, Section 5.9.15.
10.5.1 The following sections provide detailed guidance for the development of competency-based
training for cabin crew members to perform duties and responsibilities during security threat situations.
These competencies are derived from the ICAO competency framework for cabin crew member’s duties
and responsibilities related to security threat situations presented in Appendix 1 to Chapter 10.
10.5.2 The sections presented in this chapter are linked to the overarching competency unit:
“perform duties and responsibilities related to unlawful interference”, found in the ICAO framework
mentioned above. Cabin crew security procedures during normal operations, such as pre-flight security
checks, flight deck access procedures and monitoring the cabin for security-related issues are addressed in
chapter 5, as part of normal operations training.
10.5.3 When participating in simulated exercises, trainees may be evaluated individually or as part
of a team.
