Which of the following is a primary duty of the ASC?

• A. Manages airline flight schedules
• B. Writes the Airport Security Program (ASP)
• C. Oversees catering services
• D. Conducts passenger boarding

Answer: (B)

Focusing on what governs security operations, the essential task is to develop and maintain the formal plan that guides how security is implemented at the airport. The primary duty of the Airport Security Coordinator is to write the Airport Security Program, a document required by regulations that outlines security goals, responsibilities, procedures, training, and coordination with the TSA. By drafting the ASP, the ASC establishes the framework used to implement security measures, conduct audits, and respond to incidents. The other activities—managing flight schedules, overseeing catering, and conducting passenger boarding—are operational tasks handled by airlines, concessionaires, or ground crews and are not the central responsibility of the ASC.
