Anti-Terrorism; Emergency Preparedness Emphasized
As many regions in the
world experience an ongoing terrorist threat, new companies are
emerging to help corporate flight departments secure their assets
and personnel. ANN recently had the chance to talk with the key
management personnel from Security Solutions International, a
Miami-based firm specializing in aviation security training.
Carving out its own niche in the security industry, the company
just announced it is first in the world to offer courses for
helicopter crews in emergency preparedness and counter-terrorism.
Among other topics, the courses focus on: Aircrew teams dealing
with cases of terrorist attacks; Neutralizing security situations
at an early stage; and Dealing with events concerning abuse of
alcohol or other controlled substances.
Sol Bradman, SSI’s Director of Aviation, details the
benefit of helicopter-based security training.
“There are numerous aspects to the importance of security
in business aviation. The security of high profile passengers is
just one of them. The security at small airports where business
aviation is normally located (unless there are large commercial air
carrier operations) the current security is very limited.”
Bradman adds the need to integrate security training in
today’s business aviation environment.
“Anytime you are dealing with aviation the word security
will today become synonymous with safety. A truly safe aviation
operation can only be truly safe if it is secure.”
Company personnel and instructors from the Israeli College For
Security conduct all of SSI’s courses. Helicenter
International Academy -- SSI’s aviation base at the
Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport (KTMB) near Miami -- is already
conducting training for foreign governments and will be used for
its new domestic training program.
Bradman tells ANN that training can also be offered at a
customer's base, if the need arises.
