Which TSA-promoted category covers sign-in and sign-out procedures at Fixed Based Operators?

• A. Transient Pilots: Sign-in/sign-out procedures at Fixed Based Operators
• B. Aircraft Operators: Lock your plane and hanger
• C. Surveillance: train airport personnel
• D. Pilots: know who you are flying

Answer: (A)

Sign-in and sign-out procedures at Fixed Based Operators are a security measure to manage access for transient pilots—those who aren’t regular tenants—so they’re accounted for as they arrive and depart. The TSA promotes a category specifically for Transient Pilots to cover these procedures, which is exactly what this scenario describes: verifying identity and logging presence when pilots access an FBO and the airfield. The other categories address different security concerns—securing aircraft and hangars, training airport personnel to monitor for issues, or confirming who is on board the flight—none of which capture the sign-in/sign-out workflow at an FBO.
