Videoconference, 8-9 March 2023 — Several new documents to be developed by the ECAC Training Task Force in 2023 for the ECAC Aviation Security Handbook formed the basis of discussions at the task force’s recent meeting. The new documents will include guidance on screener pre-selection, and training aspects in the use of Automated Prohibited Item Detection (APID) software.
During their meeting, the members of the task force also considered some existing documents that will be updated in 2023, including on practical tests for certifying screeners, training of crew members, development of an air carrier security training programme, and human factors in aviation security.
The meeting examined progress made on developing new guidance on remedial training in aviation security and agreed to finalise the document at the group’s next meeting in May 2023.
