Chapter 7
AIRCRAFT SECURITY
7.1. General. This chapter provides guidance on aircraft security and preventing and resisting
aircraft piracy (hijacking) of the C-130 aircraft. AFI 13-207, Preventing and Resisting Aircraft
Piracy (Hijacking), AFI 31-101, Integrated Defense (FOUO), and specific MAJCOM security
publications contain additional guidance. Aircrews will not release information concerning
hijacking attempts or identify armed aircrew members or missions to the public.
7.2. Security. The C-130 is a ―Protection Level 3‖ resource. Aircraft security at non-United
States military installations is the responsibility of the controlling agency.
7.3. Integrated Defense. The following security procedures will implement AFI 31-101,
requirements for C-130 aircraft:
7.3.1. The aircraft will be parked in an established restricted area and afforded protection
IAW AFI 31-101.
7.3.2. When no permanent or established restricted area parking space is available, establish
a temporary restricted area consisting of a raised rope barrier, and post with restricted area
signs. Portable security lighting will be provided during the hours of darkness if sufficient
permanent lighting is not available. Post security forces IAW AFI 31-101.
7.3.3. At non-United States military installations, the PIC determines the adequacy of local
security capabilities to provide aircraft security commensurate with this chapter. If he or she
determines security to be inadequate, the aircraft will depart to a station where adequate
security is available.
7.3.4. The security force must be made aware of all visits to the aircraft. The security force
POC must be identified to the PIC.
7.3.5. Security support is a continual requirement and is not negated by the presence of
aircrew or ground crewmembers. Security force support terminates only after the aircraft
doors are closed and the aircraft taxis.
7.3.6. Locking and Sealing. Lock or seal the aircraft during a ―Remain Over Night‖ (RON)
on non-secure ramps (see paragraph 7.6).
7.4. Standby Aircraft Security. Ensure aircraft hatches and doors are secure to show
unauthorized entry. The PIC shall notify the C2 agency the aircraft is sealed and provide them a
means to access the aircraft in an emergency. Annotate the forms with the time the aircraft was
sealed. The C2 Senior Controller may grant access to a sealed aircraft, shall document time of
entry and ensure it remains launch capable. The PIC or designated representative must be
present if access to the aircraft is required and will ensure the aircraft is resealed. The aircrew
pre-preflight portion will remain valid if performed by one aircrew, sealed, and flown by another
aircrew. NOTE: WG/CCs should develop local procedures for documentation and management
IAW TO 00-20-1 Aerospace Equipment Maintenance Inspection, Documentation, Policies, and
Prodedures and MAJCOM Supplement.
7.5. Enroute Security. The planning agency must coordinate with the execution agency to
ensure adequate enroute security is available. The PIC will receive a threat assessment and
