SECURITY TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR CREW MEMBERS — CAT OPERATIONS
Without prejudice to Regulation (EC) No 300/2008, the CAT operator should establish and maintain a security training programme for crew members, including theoretical and practical elements. This training should be provided at the time of operator conversion training and thereafter at intervals not exceeding three years. The content and duration of the training should be adapted to the security threats of the individual operator and should ensure that crew members act in the most appropriate manner to minimise the consequences of acts of unlawful interference. This programme should include the following elements:
(a) determination of the seriousness of the occurrence;
(b) crew communication and coordination;
(c) appropriate self-defence responses;
(d) use of non-lethal protective devices assigned to crew members whose use is authorised by the Member State;
(e) understanding of behaviour of terrorists so as to facilitate the ability of crew members to cope with hijacker behaviour and passenger responses;
(f) in case where cabin crew are required, live situational training exercises regarding various threat conditions;
(g) flight crew compartment procedures to protect the aircraft;
(h) aircraft search procedures, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 300/2008, including identification of prohibited articles; and
(i) guidance on the least risk bomb locations.
Commercial air transport operators must implement security training for crew, updated every three years. This training, tailored to specific threats, covers threat assessment, communication, self-defense, terrorist behavior, aircraft protection, search procedures, and bomb location guidance. Live situational exercises are required for cabin crew.
