1. CROWD SECURITY:
CHAPTER 10 – SECURITY
a. Well-organized crowd control is essential to ensure the safety of spectators
and to satisfy FAA requirements.
b. For effective crowd security, the security/law enforcement officer must:
(1). Ensure sufficient law enforcement/security personnel are posted to
handle the anticipated crowd and set up a physical barrier, preferably snow
fencing or FOD fencing, separating the crowd from the aerobatic box and
demonstration aircraft. All spectators must remain behind this crowd line. Be
prepared for spectators, especially children, to start moving forward unless strict
control is exercised.
(2). Ensure members of the security/law enforcement team are on hand
early, and positioned at specific intervals along the crowd line, to ensure the
integrity of the intended crowd line is maintained. F-15/F-15E Strike Eagle, F-22,
and F-16 engines are extremely noisy, and could cause ear damage if someone
without ear protection breaks past the crowd line and moves toward the aircraft.
Additionally, physical harm could come to people near running aircraft.
(3). Brief the air show security team on all procedures for the air show.
2. AIRCRAFT SECURITY:
a. For military installations: Security for ACC Single-Ship demonstration
aircraft at military installations will be in accordance with AFI 31-101, The AF
Installation Security Program, as supplemented. Additionally, Senior Jersey
Program requirements must be met for the F-22. Note: For F-22, stanchions
and sufficient rope to secure 25’ perimeter around both aircraft must be
available IMMEDIATELY upon arrival of the aircraft. At no time will any
individuals be allowed inside the perimeter without escort by Team
personnel.
b. For Civilian locations: The air show must:
1). Arrange for around-the-clock protection of ACC Single-Ship
Demonstration aircraft from arrival until departure through their local civilian law
enforcement agency. No one is authorized to be on or around our aircraft
without a single-ship demonstration team member escort.
