Security 25
Introduction
Definitions. The following definitions are examinable:
Item |
Definition |
|
|
|
|
|
The movement area of an airport, adjacent terrain and buildings or |
|
Airside |
portions thereof, access to which is controlled (used to be called ‘the |
|
|
aeronautical part’). |
|
|
|
|
|
The application of technical or other means which are intended to |
|
Screening |
identify and/or detect weapons, explosives or other dangerous devices, |
|
articles or substances which may be used to commit an act of unlawful |
||
|
||
|
interference. |
|
|
|
|
|
Safeguarding civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference. This |
|
Security |
objective is achieved by a combination of measures and human and |
|
|
material resources. |
|
|
|
|
|
Those areas of the airside of an airport which are identified as priority |
|
|
risk areas where in addition to access control, other security controls |
|
Security |
are applied. Such areas will normally include all commercial aviation |
|
passenger departure areas between the screening point and the aircraft, |
||
restricted area |
||
the ramp, baggage make-up areas, including those where aircraft are |
||
|
||
|
being brought into service and screened baggage and cargo are present, |
|
|
cargo sheds, mail centres, airside catering and aircraft cleaning premises. |
|
|
|
|
Unidentified |
Baggage at an airport with or without a baggage tag, which is not |
|
baggage |
picked up by or identified with a passenger. |
|
|
|
25.1 Annex 17. The annex to the Chicago which contains the SARPs for Security is Annex 17. Information applicable to the implementation of security policy is also contained in other ICAO publications.
Objectives
25.2 |
General. The aim of aviation security shall be to safeguard civil aviation operations |
|
|
against acts of unlawful interference. Safety of passengers, crew, ground personnel and the |
|
||
general public shall be the primary objective of each Contracting State in all matters related to |
|
||
safeguarding against acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation. |
|
||
25.3 |
Organization. Each Contracting State shall establish an organization, develop plans |
|
|
and implement procedures, which together provide a standardized level of security for the |
|
||
25 |
|||
operation of international flights in normal operating conditions and which are capable of |
|||
|
|||
rapid expansion to meet any increased security threat. |
Security |
||
25.4 |
Facilitation. Each Contracting State should whenever possible arrange for the security |
||
|
measures and procedures to cause a minimum of interference with, or delay to the activities of, international civil aviation.

25.5National Organization. Each Contracting State shall establish a national civil aviation security programme the objective of which will be to safeguard civil aviation operations against unlawful interference, through regulations, practices and procedures which take account of the safety, regularity and efficiency of flights. This will include the designation of an appropriate authority to co-ordinate all security activities, to implement the security programme, to ensure the programme meets the needs of international traffic, to establish airport security committees, to ensure that contingency plans are in place for acts of unlawful interference, and to ensure training programmes are implemented. The programme may be extended to cover domestic air service. A copy of the programme is to be given to ICAO.
25.6Airport Design. The State is required to ensure that airport design requirements, includingarchitecturalandinfrastructurerelatedrequirementsnecessaryfortheimplementation of security measures are integrated into the design and construction of new facilities and alterations to existing facilities at airports.
25.7International Co-operation. The most effective means of combating international terrorism is to act within a co-ordinated framework and to common standards. Each Contracting State is therefore required to co-operate with other States in order to adapt their respective national civil aviation security programmes as necessary; to make available to other States on request a written version of the appropriate parts of its national civil aviation security programme; to include in its bilateral agreements on air transport, a clause related to aviation security; to ensure that requests from other States for special security measures in respect of a specific flight or specified flights by operators of such other States, as far as may be practicable, are met; to co-operate with each other in the development and exchange of information concerning training programmes; and to co-operate with other States in the field of research and development of new security equipment which will better satisfy international civil aviation security objectives.
Preventative Security Measures
25.8Prohibited Objects. Each Contracting State shall establish measures to prevent weapons, explosives or any other dangerous devices which may be used to commit an act of unlawful interference, the carriage or bearing of which is not authorized, from being introduced, by any means whatsoever, on board an aircraft engaged in international civil aviation. Note: In applying this standard, special attention must be paid to the threat posed by explosive devices concealed in, or using electric, electronic or battery operated items carried as hand baggage and/or in checked baggage.
25.9Protection of Cargo, Mail and Other Goods. States must protect cargo, mail and other goods by taking the following security controls:
a.Screening prior to being loaded onto the aircraft
b.Approval and security screening of Agents or known consignors
c.Access Control (entry of only authorized personnel)
25.10 Law Enforcement Officers. Contracting States should ensure that the carriage of weapons on board aircraft, by law enforcement officers and other authorized persons, acting in the performance of their duties, requires special authorization in accordance with the laws of the States involved. The pilot-in-command is notified as to the number of armed persons and their seat location. Additionally, all en route States as well as the departure and destination States and the aerodrome authorities, must approve the transit of armed security personnel.
