It isalso preferred to have one during your night practice, although a qualified nonpilotobserver will serve just as well.]9.4 Security Concerns and Airspace RestrictionsThe September 11 th terrorist attack brought about heightened securityconcerns and the potential for airspace restrictions.9.4.1 SecurityCAP resources should be considered National Security assets.
