General Principles
Access to airside or Security Restricted Areas must be allowed only to those vehicles
with a clear operational requirement.
The admission of vehicles to airside areas should be restricted for reasons of security
and safety and to avoid congestion on aircraft movement areas
The aerodrome operator may issue aerodrome entry permit for vehicles required to
operate in the airside on operational,emergency and maintenance purpose. The permit
shall be specific to the vehicle and affixed on it conspicuously.
The vehicle permit shall contain at a minimum :
Registration No. of vehicle. ,Duration of permit. ,Owner of vehicle , Issuing authority.
The Commissioner may authorize a person to use Airport Operator’s vehicle or his own
vehicle or any other vehicle with “follow me” vehicle,
Levels of Search
There are various levels of search. The table below details the various types and the degree of
intrusiveness.
Comments
Level 1 This is a normal hand search of the outer levels of the persons clothing (as worn and
without removing them) and a hand search of the passenger’s body through that
clothing.
It may involve the use of a Hand Held Metal Detector (HHMD) .
Level 2 Outer layers of cloth can be removed.
Level 3 This level of search is usually only carried out by personnel who have had specialist
training i.e Police or customs.
The X-ray operator function will be performed in rotation so that any one person does not
monitor X – ray image for more than 20 minutes at one stretch and resume only after 40
minutes.
Components and Switches of a typical X-ray BIS
X-BIS Components

The objects inside a bag are displayed in 03 colours. Orange colour is given to all organic items.
Green colour to medium heavy metals. Blue colour to heavy metals. Items through which X-ray
cannot penetrate are shown as opaque.
The best option for all electrical and electronic items is to pass them through x-ray
equipment or to use trace detection equipment.
Categorization of Bags:
On interpretation of the X-ray image the bags can be categorised as
1) SAFE or Clear Bag 2) SUSPECT Bag 3) THREAT Bag

Airline Procedures for Unattended Aircraft
Aircraft are parked in a well-lit area
The area should be easily observed
All external doors must be closed
Aircraft should be parked away from fences or buildings to prevent easy access
Access stairs, passenger loading bridges and hold loading equipment must be removed from
the vicinity of the aircraft and immobilized.
Q --Why must an aircraft search be carried out?
ANS --There are legal and business reasons for carrying out aircraft searches.
When to search?
There are 4 instances when searches are usually conducted:
1) Pre-flight 2) Transit Flight 3) Post flight 4) When the Aircraft is under increased threat.
