Securing General Aviation
When the term general aviation (GA) is mentioned, the image most likely to be conjured is one of a small single-engine airplane droning over America’s farmland on a tranquil summer’s day.  In the post-9/11context, this pastoral image of GA has been tarnished to a degree by knowledge that the 9/11 hijackers trained in small general aviation aircraft in the United States and amid lingering concerns that GA aircraft could be used in a future terrorist attack. While some recent high-profile breaches of GA security have pointed to persisting vulnerabilities, and limited intelligence information may suggest a possible terrorist “fixation”1 on using aircraft to attack U.S. interests, GA aircraft vary significantly with regard to the risks they pose.  The threats and vulnerabilities of a small single-engine airplane operating in rural settings is intuitively quite different than the risk characteristics of large business jets operating in and near major metropolitan areas.  Most experts agree that an adaptive approach to securing GA aircraft and airports that takes into account the unique risk characteristics of the various distinct components of GA is needed to assure that security needs are adequately met and balanced with economic considerations of the GA industry.2
