Security Awareness – 11.2.7

Summary

The Security Awareness (EU Regulation 2015/1998 – Article 11.2.7) training provides participants with a comprehensive introduction to aviation security and the importance of security awareness within the aviation environment. The course explores the evolution of civil aviation security by examining significant unlawful acts and terrorist attacks that have shaped today's security measures and regulatory framework.

Participants gain an understanding of current and emerging security threats, including insider threats, hostile intent, radicalization, and the importance of personal security and vigilance. The training explains how aviation security is organized, the applicable European and national legislation, the roles of the competent authorities, and the responsibilities of individuals working within the aviation sector.

Special attention is given to threat recognition, reporting procedures, communication, and the importance of maintaining a proactive security culture. Through practical examples and operational scenarios, participants learn how to recognize suspicious behaviour, respond appropriately to security incidents, and contribute to the protection of passengers, personnel, aircraft, and airport infrastructure.
