Which practice improves aircraft security during servicing at the FBO?

• A. Flight crewmembers present when the aircraft is being serviced
• B. Turn off all lights around the aircraft
• C. Remove surveillance cameras
• D. Allow open access to luggage

Answer: (A)

Having flight crewmembers present during servicing provides direct oversight and accountability, which strengthens security against tampering, theft, or improper procedures. When crew members are on board or nearby, they can observe work being performed, verify who is accessing the aircraft, confirm that only authorized tasks are done, and quickly identify anything unusual. This presence also deters unauthorized access and helps ensure that doors and compartments are properly secured after maintenance.

Turning off lights reduces visibility and monitoring, removing surveillance cameras eliminates a deterrent and makes investigations harder, and allowing open access to luggage directly compromises security and safety. Therefore, keeping flight crewmembers present during servicing best enhances aircraft security at the FBO.
