Videoconference, 29 April 2024 — The Guidance Material Task Force continued its work on two new ECAC Aviation Security Handbook documents focusing on measuring vulnerabilities in aviation security, and mitigating the risks of MANPADS and other weapons representing a similar threat.

In cooperation with the Training Task Force, the group will also develop best practices for regulating the security aspects of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) by the end of June 2024. Several revised Doc 30, Part II Annexes and Aviation Security Handbook documents will also be finalised through written consultation by the end of May 2024. These will include on the implementation of aircraft security, the use of intrusion detection devices for protecting parked aircraft, the application of risk management to aviation security, and a standard derogated airport security programme template.
