The AOPA has created what security initiative for GA airports?

• A. GA Watch
• B. Airport Shield
• C. Airport Watch
• D. Flight Watch

Answer: (C)

Airport Watch is AOPA’s security initiative that invites the general aviation community to stay vigilant and actively monitor GA airports for suspicious activity. The idea mirrors a familiar “watch” concept at the local level—aircraft operators, airport tenants, line service staff, and pilots are encouraged to observe anything unusual and report it promptly to the proper authorities. This program strengthens security by fostering collaboration with airport management and local law enforcement, providing a clear pathway for reporting and guidance on what kinds of behaviors or situations to flag.

Why this one fits best is that it is specifically tied to GA airports and to community-based security practices rather than a generic term or a separate service. The other names don’t align with an official AOPA airport-security outreach and could refer to different, non-aviation contexts or services (for example, Flight Watch is historically a communications/flight services channel, not a GA airport security program).
