Additional legislation introduced in the House would focus on site-specific measures to improve security at GA airports. The Strengthen Aviation Security Act (H.R. 2649), introduced by Representative Markey on May 26, 2005, would require airport operators to develop site-specific vulnerability assessments for each GA airport and develop a plan for addressing vulnerabilities identified within one year of enactment. H.R. 2649 would also require background checks and terrorist database screening for any individuals with access to general aviation aircraft. While the bill language, in its broadest interpretation, could apply to just about anyone who would have occasion to visit or transit through a general aviation airport, the intent appears to be focused on airport workers and pilots to parallel requirements for unescorted access to secured areas of commercial airports. The bill would also require all GA aircraft to be secured by visible immobilizing devices such as prop locks while parked at GA airports. In addition to these measures, H.R. 2649 calls for establishing no-fly zones during periods of high terrorist threat levels and any other applicable times identified by the DHS around all sensitive nuclear facilities, chemical facilities where a release of hazardous materials could endanger one million or more lives, and any other facilities designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security. On July 21, 2005, Representative Sweeney introduced the General Aviation Security Act of 2005 (H.R. 3397). This bill would require all operators of public-and private-use airports in the United States to register with the DHS and undergo a registration renewal process every three years. The proposed registration process would include a security plan documenting site-specific security procedures consistent with the TSA’s most recent security guidelines for GA airports. In developing security plans, operators would be required to provide a written description of how the airport has addressed each recommendation or justify why a particular recommendation was not adopted. The legislation calls for using self-assessment tools to identify airport characteristics for security purposes in the development of airport-specific security plans. In addition to providing security plans to the DHS as part of the registration process, airports would also be required to submit their security plans to local law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction over the airport. 中国通航网 www.ga.cn 通航翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：Securing General Aviation 通用航空安保(56) |
