TSA Airport Access Security RequirementsTSA Airport Access Security Requirements
Airport Security Program Requirements
It is not unusual for pilots relocating their aircraft from one airport to another, or for tenants at an airport that is initiating new or larger commercial service, to encounter different security requirements. Under Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security regulations, airports are required to have a complete TSA-approved Airport Security Program (ASP) when scheduled airlines operate aircraft with 61 or more seats. Airport management may also be required to conduct security background checks and issue identification badges to hundreds of employees and other personnel authorized to enter movement areas, including tenant aircraft owners. These requirements can become tricky for both transient pilots and airport management because transient pilots lack locally issued security credentials.
Airports are responsible to ensure only those properly badged individuals enter the Air Operations Area (AOA). This responsibility is sometimes delegated to Fixed Base Operators (FBO), especially at the general aviation ramp to escort transient pilots. As a result, in some cases, transient pilots are forced to purchase unwanted services from the FBO or charged for a security fee because that is the only way to egress and ingress the general aviation ramp.
It is important to understand that there are alternative methods that are less onerous and still meet TSA requirements while being friendly to general aviation.
Lack of Transparency
Each airport is unique, and general aviation tenants should always be a part of the planning process for security-related matters that may affect their operations. The TSA works with the airport management to craft an ASP that fits that airport.
However, transient and based pilots, AOPA and the public do not have access to the specific requirements that govern airport security nor to finalized ASPs. This is because the information is considered Sensitive Security Information (SSI). SSI is not classified information; yet, there are specific handling procedures. More information can be found here. AOPA has always advocated that TSA Security Directives should be publicly circularized within 180 days of taking effect so as to allow public comment and to promote reasonable transparency.
Airport Security Areas and Basic Requirements
The TSA has issued regulations governing the security of airports with commercial service to ensure aircraft operations are secure. At most of these airports, general aviation has a significant presence. The governing regulation, 49 C.F.R. Part 1542, details how each airport operator is required to have a security program and must establish certain security areas.
At TSA-regulated airports, security related areas include: the Secured Area, Air Operations Area (AOA), Security Identification Display Area (SIDA), Sterile Area, and Airport Tenant Security Program (ATSP) Area.
General aviation transient parking and T-hangars are usually located in the AOA. Each airport operator must carry out measures for controlling entry to the AOA to prevent and detect the unauthorized entry, presence, and movement of individuals and ground vehicles into or within the AOA. Although only basic access controls are required for AOA, the freedom of movement for general aviation transient pilots and passengers at commercial airports are limited because they lack locally issued security credentials. An airport's access control systems and procedures are detailed, from an operational perspective, in each airport's TSA mandated ASP.
Airport Credentialing and Physical Access Control Systems
Airport access control systems are normally considered in two parts: the first provides the vetting, approval and credential issuance process, and the second is a physical access control system that uses the resulting credential to provide or deny access. All individuals employed by or at airports require some sort of airport identification (ID) media to enter secure areas. Different types of ID media authorize different levels of unescorted access. The measures for controlling entry to the AOA must incorporate "accountability" procedures to maintain their integrity.
At large airports, physical access control systems (PACS) typically involve a computerized system such as credential/badge readers and automatic locks. However, at smaller airports, PACS can be as simple as lock-and-key methods or physical guards. Additionally, wireless technology, such as Near-field communication (NFC) and cloud computing, is convenient and often less expensive. NFC is an industry term for essentially using a smart phone and an app to be the electronic ID for the individual. NFC on smartphones has been utilized in the payment area for many years.
General Aviation Tenants
General aviation tenants should always be a part of an airport's planning process for security-related matters that may affect their operations. TSA-regulated airports are required to designate an Airport Security Coordinator (ASC). The ASC is responsible for compliance with the ASP and is the point of contact for the airport's security-related affairs.
General aviation tenants and pilots must be familiar with the local security protocols. When they are issued airport media badge, they should make sure to follow security procedures. At a minimum, pilots should always secure their aircraft using door locks and auxiliary locks, and secure all keys.
General Aviation Transient Pilots
Transient pilots lack locally issued security credentials and unescorted access authority. Therefore, airports must implement specific procedures to control access to general aviation transient ramps.
General aviation transient pilots have a valid reason to be on a general aviation ramp.
General aviation transient pilots carry credentials: FAA pilot certificate and government issued picture ID are required by the FAA.
General aviation transient pilots, as FAA certificate holders, are vetted by TSA on a daily basis.
In addition, AOPA continues to promote AOPA Airport Watch program and educate general aviation pilots to be vigilant and report suspicious activities. General aviation pilots are usually familiar with behaviors of those who have a valid purpose for being at the airport.
The Importance of Alternative Airport Access for Transient Pilots
The impacts of security procedures on general aviation transient operations should be carefully considered and an ASP should be tailored to the airport's unique operation. When the FBO is the only way that transient pilots can access the general aviation ramp, pilots should not have to purchase unnecessary services nor be charged a security fee. Otherwise, alternative airport access should be considered and implemented at public-use airports.
In addition to TSA, local, regional, or state authorities may impose various requirements affecting design of airport security systems and processes. The security environment varies with an airport's geographic location. A Security Threat Assessment is required by federal regulations to determine threats for a given AOA. Based on the results of the local threat assessment, monitoring access to the AOA can be accomplished by a guard or a combination of access control systems and surveillance techniques. The level of security is usually applied to the entry point and not the exit point. In other words, entry and exit requirements do not have to be the same.
AOPA encourages creative solutions when airports design access control systems for general aviation ramps and parking.
Leveraging Airport Layout
It is recommended to exclude general aviation operations area from SIDA and commercial operations areas as much as it is practicable. If general aviation ramp is located independently from commercial operations areas, the "time and distance" concept could be considered to deter and delay the access of unauthorized individuals onto non-public areas of airports. Locating general aviation ramp independently from commercial operations helps avoid imposing commercial security procedures on general aviation operations.
Gate Considerations
At some airports, a physical gate may be installed to separate general aviation ramp from commercial operations areas to minimize potential security conflicts. Both RTCA DO-230: Standards for Airport Security Access Control Systems and Safe Skies PARAS 0004: Recommended Security Guidelines for Airport Planning, Design, and Construction include sections on practical AOA boundaries. A physical gate not only prevents unauthorized entry to SIDA and secured areas but also allows different security procedures to be implemented in each operations area.
AOPA participates in RTCA Special Committee SC-224, Airport Security Access Control Systems, and helps maintain the industry standard document DO-230. This document provides guidance on acquiring and designing such systems, testing and evaluating system performance, and system operational requirements. DO-230 is updated annually to include the latest technologies and technical solutions. Examples include:
Automated Exit Lane Breach Control (ELBC) system
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) and video surveillance systems
One-time access codes
Mobile devices as PACS credentials
Some technology solutions can be employed in conjunction with additional security layers such as identity verification and surveillance techniques. Full document is available here.
Most recently, AOPA proposed to include one-time access code considerations in DO-230, which will be included in the next revision DO-230J, scheduled to be published in 2019.
A one-time access code may be used instead of an airport access media card. This system can be implemented at a self-service fuel station. When a pilot purchases fuel using a credit card, a one-time gate access code will be printed on the receipt. This is the same concept used at gas stations to grant access to a carwash. Using a credit card device, a unique access code is issued to grant access to the gate controller.
AOPA stands ready to support and participate in local discussions.
Where can I find more information?
Individuals can reference guidance materials such as Standards for Airport Security Access Control Systems (DO-230I), National Safe Skies Alliance's Recommended Security Guidelines for Airport Planning, Design, and Construction, and any recommendations issued by the Aviation Security Advisory Committee (ASAC).

Novel methodology to examine cognitive and experiential factors in language development: combining eye-tracking and LENA technology
Rosalie Oden, Department of Psychology, Florida International UniversityFollow
Alina Nazareth, Department of Psychology, Florida International UniversityFollow
Shannon M. Pruden, Department of Psychology, Florida International UniversityFollow
Developmental systems theory posits that development cannot be segmented by influences acting in isolation, but should be studied through a scientific lens that highlights the complex interactions between these forces over time (Overton, 2013a). This poses a unique challenge for developmental psychologists studying complex processes like language development. In this paper, we advocate for the combining of highly sophisticated data collection technologies in an effort to move toward a more systemic approach to studying language development. We investigate the efficiency and appropriateness of combining eye-tracking technology and the LENA (Language Environment Analysis) system, an automated language analysis tool, in an effort to explore the relation between language processing in early development, and external dynamic influences like parent and educator language input in the home and school environments. Eye-tracking allows us to study language processing via eye movement analysis; these eye movements have been linked to both conscious and unconscious cognitive processing, and thus provide one means of evaluating cognitive processes underlying language development that does not require the use of subjective parent reports or checklists. The LENA system, on the other hand, provides automated language output that describes a child's language-rich environment. In combination, these technologies provide critical information not only about a child's language processing abilities but also about the complexity of the child's language environment. Thus, when used in conjunction these technologies allow researchers to explore the nature of interacting systems involved in language development.

The year 2016 was a very poor year (and that's putting it mildly) for American Golfers on the LPGA tour. They were able to win just twice in 34 official LPGA events. With the season starting this week in the Bahamas, veteran players such as: Brittany Lincicome, Stacy Lewis, Gerina Piller, and Lexi Thompson, needed to step up their game dramatically in 2017.
This week they all came through with flying colors. In a rarity, the American players finished 1 through 5, in the year's first tournament. In fact, at the turn on Sunday's final round, the four players that I mentioned above, were all tied for the lead with no other player within 6 strokes.
The lead went back and forth, with each player enjoying the lead at some point on the back nine. When Stacy Lewis triple bogeyed the 14th hole, it all but ended her chances. When Brittany Lincicome (playing ahead of the other three players) birdied the 18th hole, she tied Lexi Thompson for the lead. A birdie on the par 5 18th would win it for Thompson. But then the sky opened up, and the conditions became almost unplayable. Lexi sank a 5 footer for par, forcing a playoff. When Lincicome birdied the first playoff hole (the 18th), she became the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic champion.
Brittany Lincicome holds up her 2017 Pure Silk Bahamas Classic trophy.
As exciting as this tournament was, Brittany's win was not the only big story.
Nelly Korda, younger sister of Jessica, made her debut as an LPGA member, and shot an incredible score of -21.
I am going to assume that that has to be an LPGA record for a debut performance.
I will be back in a couple of days with more on this year's rookies.
Who was the last American player to win the Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year award?
How Good are the 2017 LPGA Rookies?

We are buying Brick City, and we will expand the Jordan Valley Innovation Center to stimulate cutting-edge research in Springfield.
In the 2000s, Missouri State University leaders had a vision.
We wanted to redevelop a portion of Springfield's center city.
With the help of the city and local government, we would create an urban innovation park.
It would blend university programs with residential, retail, commercial and entertainment facilities.
The park would celebrate and encourage Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship and Art — and so the IDEA Commons concept was officially named in 2007.
Now, more than 10 years later, IDEA Commons is part of the fabric of Springfield.
Keep innovative people in our community and attract young, creative talent.
Continue the revitalization of downtown.
Expand opportunities for research and development.
Develop partnerships between the university and entrepreneurs.
Promote economic development through new job opportunities.
IDEA Commons continues to adapt.
In 2008, Brick City — a group of historic downtown buildings with brick exteriors — was renovated.
Missouri State's art and design department moved into many of the spaces. Private businesses and other academic programs moved into others.
This rehabilitation was made possible through a public-private partnership involving Missouri State, the city of Springfield and several businesses.
This renovation was originally done with developer Miller Commerce, which accessed historic tax credits to make the project feasible.
MSU leased the buildings each year. We anticipated that we would eventually purchase them.
In fall 2018, we finalized an agreement to buy buildings 1, 3, 4 and 5, and the adjacent parking lots. We will sell bonds to finance the purchase. Now that we are buying at about the same rate we were leasing, there will be no additional cost to the university.
This is one example of an IDEA Commons project that benefited private business, the city and the university.
We hope there are many more to come.
One project on the horizon: Growing the Jordan Valley Innovation Center.
We plan to expand the space owned by MSU. A commercial office building, to be owned by a private company, will also be constructed. The area will include landscaping and parking.
Eventually, we hope this will lead to exciting amenities for those who live and work here.
We have had a lot of partners in this vision.
Missouri Sen. Jay Wasson led the legislative changes needed to get this expansion named as a tax-increment-financing project in the state budget.
The city of Springfield approved its commitment to the project, including tax incentives and financing for stormwater and streetscape improvements.
IDEA Commons brings together corporations, the university, lofts, nonprofits and retail space.
It's a downtown community where people can live, shop, learn, create and work.
This facility, known as JVIC, is a former feed mill. It is now a seven-story state-of-the-art research facility. Here, students can gain hands-on experience and corporate partners can develop innovative products. The focus at JVIC is environmentally friendly projects, with an applied research emphasis on biomaterials, nanotechnology, carbon-based electronics, biomedical instrument development and energy.
Brick City: Brick City consists of several buildings. It's a creative hub with many art programs and galleries.
Building 1: This four-story building was built in 1927. It was once owned by the Springfield Ice and Refrigerator Company. The art and design department moved into the first three floors in July 2013. It has space for administrative offices, art history, ceramics, digital arts, graphic design, metals and jewelry, and photography and printmaking. A portion of this building is the Springfield campus of the University of Missouri-Kansas City's School of Pharmacy.
Former building 2: This building was demolished, leaving vacant space between buildings 1 and 3.
Building 3: This three-story building was built in 1914. It started as a cold-storage building. MSU moved into the space in July 2011 and occupies the first two floors for art and gallery space. The third floor is leased to Marlin, a full-service advertising agency with a national reach.
Building 4: This two-story building was built in 1915. It was a processing and storage facility for cheese. MSU moved into the space in 2009. It houses sculpture, drawing and painting programs, and the Brick City Gallery.
Building 5: This former boiler house was built in 1900. MSU moved into the space in July 2013. It is used as lighting studios for photography.
This center, a former turkey-processing plant, is a one-stop shop for new small businesses. It includes the efactory, a business incubator that provides resources, gives guidance and assists with start-up activities.
These are suites used both for residential lofts and private retail. Types of businesses here include medical equipment development, interior design and more.
This federally qualified health center serves the uninsured and underinsured of southwest Missouri.
Here, officers support investigations from around the state.
IDEA Commons is on about 88 acres in Springfield's center city. It is bounded by east Chestnut Expressway to the north, Water Street to the south, north Campbell Avenue to the west and Jordan Creek to the east.
The Missouri Development Finance Board has awarded us tax credits and a loan to support the project. The JVIC expansion will be owned by the Vecino Group for the first seven years, and we will lease it.
MSU has the option to purchase after seven years.
Because of this structure, and the level of city and state support, we expect to eventually recoup our investment on this project.
However, we will need your support as we move forward.
The Missouri State University Foundation will likely seek private gifts, and there will be some opportunities for namings as we expand IDEA Commons.
We could potentially break ground this fall, so expect to hear much more about this project.
We're so excited about the role this expansion may play in encouraging cutting-edge technology, high-paying jobs and expressive creativity in this region.
I encourage you to follow along, and add your own support, as the ideas keep coming.
Cannot agree more that our downtown needs more attention and renovation!
So excited and looking forward to a modern look SGF downtown!
For me, I think this idea is fantastic and achievable! The only thing I may mention is that if our school want to expand brick city, then not only the outside view, also the inside facilities of brick city like every studio. In addition, we can have a wall like the wall opposite to brick city building 3&4, which can let young talent to distribute their innovation and talent in art.

Gritty K'taka woman on her mission to get road to her village
Friday, September 17th, 2021 at 10:45 PM
Davanagere: Bindu R.D. (26), who shot to fame after she got the system moving by writing a letter to the Chief Minister's Office saying she will not marry until her village, H Rampura in Davanagere district, gets roads and buses, told on Friday that the letter was not about her marriage, but it was all about getting the necessities for her village.
"The letter was not about my marriage, which can happen at a later point in time. I wanted to highlight the pathetic condition of the road in our village, which was hampering the movement of people besides affecting the education of girls. Now that the government is building the road, girls who would have earlier dropped out from schools after Class 5 now stand a better chance of getting educated," Bindu told.
Bindu had mailed a letter to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai's office on September 9. Highlighting the pathetic condition of the road in her village, she had pledged that she wouldn't marry until a new road is built in her village.
Stating that for more than 70 years the road has not been laid, she had said in the letter that it is impossible to commute on bikes or in any other vehicle. The condition is such that only bullock carts could move on the muddy road, she had said.
"My parents had sent me to a hostel as they felt that it is not safe to come back to the village after 4 pm by foot. There is fear of wild animals attacking us and other safety issues. My parents could afford it. I thought of those daughters of labourers and poor people who cannot think of sending their children out of the village. I surfed on the net and got the email address of the Chief Minister and shot a mail," Bindu said.
After her letter, Davanagere District Commissioner Mahantesh Bilagi has visited the village and spoke to the villagers. The Zilla Panchayat officials too came down, and started the work to build the road from Thursday.
However, Bindu, a teacher at a private school in Koodalasangama town, was not present at that time.
"The villagers are calling me and thanking me. They are sending me pictures of the road being built. I am extremely happy. The government bus will also come to the village from Saturday onwards. Now I can see many of my friends going to schools to study after 5th standard," she explained.
When asked what motivated her to write the letter, Bindu said that her constitutional right empowered her to do so.
"As we have voted, we have every right to ask for development. What is the use of being educated if we do not ask questions? I appeal to everyone who put up with difficulties for years to start questioning for development," she said.
Bindu had also taken special classes for children during the Covid lockdown, besides campaigning to increase the attendance of students when schools were on the verge of closure.

Regularly having your HVAC system cleaned and tuned up can elevate its performance and help reduce your costs because an HVAC system that's well-maintained can use a great deal less energy than an HVAC system that is not. But what else should you do? We have more simple steps you can perform to revamp your Grove City home's energy efficiency.
Insulate your walls and attic. You might equate insulation with keeping your indoor space warm throughout the winter, but it also helps in the summer. When it's hot outside, heat is steadily seeking cooler places—like your home. Ensure you have enough insulation to keep the heat from moving through your attic and walls and decreasing your home comfort.
While you're at it, confirm your ducts are properly sealed to prevent air leaks and insulate them if needed. If the ducts are leaking, you are losing valuable heated or cooled air. Properly sealing and insulating ducts is even more necessary if they are placed in the attic, a vented crawlspace or any other unconditioned area.
Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible throughout the summer. To help possibly keep your cooling bill cut down, keep the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures as low as possible. According to the Department of Energy, you can save nearly 10% a year on heating and cooling by just turning your thermostat back 7° to 10°F from its usual setting for 8 hours a day. If you turn on a ceiling fan in conjunction with your air conditioner, you can raise your thermostat setting by about 4°F without negatively disturbing your comfort.
Don't place lamps, TV sets or other heat-generating appliances near your thermostat. This practice can cause your air conditioner to run longer than needed because your thermostat senses heat from these appliances and thinks your home needs cooled.
Invest in new, energy-efficient equipment. If your HVAC equipment is more than 10 years old or not meeting with your home-comfort needs, call Air Quality Solutions for a review. It may be time to replace it with ENERGY STAR®-qualified equipment that can lower your annual energy bill by more than $115, according to energystar.gov.
If you've got more questions about how to increase your home's energy efficiency, think it may be time for more energy-efficient equipment or simply want to arrange a regular maintenance appointment, call Air Quality Solutions at 614-871-4144 and our experts will help.


Funny, dark, honest and original. You're The Worst is a comedy series from Stephen Falk that takes a modern look at love and happiness through two people who haven't been successful with either.
It follows Jimmy (Chris Geere), a self-involved writer, and Gretchen (Aya Cash), a self-destructive Los Angeles PR executive, as these two toxic personalities attempt a relationship. It premiered around 2 years ago on FX with season 3 out last month. I'm halfway through season 1 and have heard it gets better and better.
Get it on iTunes (unless you can view it free on FX in the USA).
A documentary following Anthony Weiner and the sexting scandals he's now infamous for that subsequently collapsed his personal and political worlds, starting from his time in Congress through to his campaign for Mayor of New York City.
(4) His name and wondering whether this would ever have become such a huge story and source of entertainment had he been fortunate enough to have a different surname (probably not).
It's cringeworthy but highly entertaining.

He will also be working with Questacon developing exhibition contact related to microbial life on this planet.


If you are looking for an extra jump start to shedding some pounds, here are a few of my favorite metabolism boosting food that will help kick-start your metabolism and taste great!
Avocados. Not only are they yummy, but they are packed with protein, heart-healthy fatty acids, and all 9 essential amino acids. They are also fantastic for their flexibility in various recipes to keep your diet from becoming dull. Use as a dip or a spread. I love to spread on toast or fill my boiled eggs with guacomole. Delish.
Finding good healthy low-fat forms of these foods are great for your metabolism. The key ingredient is calcium so for those that are lactose intolerant, try seeking out other calcium and Vitamin D rich options such as milk from seed. Almond milk is a great alternative from animal milk; a great alternative if you are lactose intollerant. Almond milk is a plant milk with a creamy texture and nutty taste.
Green vegetables such as asparagus, edamame, and spinach are loaded with many valuable nutrients and high in protein. Edamame especially can be a huge boost because it contains at least a small amount of every mineral the human body needs to function at a high level.
Some of us enjoy using a meal replacement shake or make a shake as a pre/post workout supplement. Blend with your favorite fruit, and leafy greens and make a delicious shake/smoothie out of it.
Many think that without meat, it is impossible to boost you metabolism with protein. Tofu is a great alternative to your traditional protein-packed foods, as it contains about 12 grams of protein per 3 ounces. It is also known to be used in a variety of flavors and recipes.
Seafood and shellfish such as salmon and tuna can be an excellent metabolism kick starter and also helps our body in other areas. Similar to avocados, seafood contains very healthy fatty acids/omega 3 nutrients.
Another extremely useful food that can stimulate your metabolism are eggs. Eggs are high protein heavy not to mention a quick and easy addition to your daily diet. You can eat the yolk or leave it out, the choice is yours.
While not all of us may be huge fans of consuming tons of meat, finding ways to add these protein-filled foods can make a big difference in your metabolism levels. It is important to seek out the leanest possible option of these meats and a small amount can go a long way. Look for antibiotic free, cage free, free range meat sources.
Goji, chia, hemp, and flax seeds are powerful super foods that can be added to smoothies, salads or yogurts to enhance your metabolism. These awesome seeds contain 8 of the 9 essential amino acids that build muscle also.
If some of these are new to you, try adding 1 every couple of days or 1 a week. Keep it easy, keep it simple, keep it fun.

It's hard to put into words... how it feels to be entrusted, to hold space for someone who barely knows who I really am at all, and yet shares the deepest parts of themselves with me in that space.
To speak of things that they had as yet not dared say out loud, for fear of being punished, ridiculed, and abandoned or in their eyes something far worse. And yet share they will and I listen, feeling the humility of who and what I am within this space as a simple witness to the truth taking place. The beautiful unravelling of a Soul caught in time somewhere, stuck in a place not known as yet...... but soon to be discovered and freed in some way.
A shift into another time, the present and to be met by my enquiring voice with compassion and equal measure of truth. No judgement, no critique no question or accusation but a natural curiosity for this ... whatever this is taking place right now in this space, right here with me in this space now.
To know that whatever happened and whenever it was. That in this space, right here and right now... there is an Ok'ness. A safely is found and old barriers formed within their barren world can now make way for clear and strong boundaries as the barriers come tumbling down. Torn down in some cases to allow the beautiful light of truth and presence to shine in at last.
I am honoured, so deeply honoured to be enabled to carry out the "work" that I do. Being present with another, to listen to their truth and to support them to tell their story so that at last it may rest where it belongs in the past and to feel the burden of it to carry no more.
Freedom - we will move together towards a continued freedom. Enabled to love, supported to live a full and rich life from this time forward.
Ultimately what I "do", what I offer involves one being honoured and one feeling honoured to have witnessed a being.

Over the past couple of years we have purchased thirteen of Bert's paintings.!! His studio is situated just 15 minutes from us and each time I visit I fall in love with another one!
Our collection ranges from horses, landscapes and dancers. Each one is special in its own unique way and is a great addition to any room. On the wall of our 15th century Italian Palazzo, a friend's modern apartment in London or a mansion on Martha's Vineyard. They seem to blend into any space, old or new. They bring a room alive with their vibrancy and colour.
The size, subject and boldness of his paintings make them a very special purchase we treasure and enjoy each and every day.
