§ 1546.3 

(b) 

Training not complete. 

An indi-

vidual who has not completed the 
training required by § 1544.405 may be 
deployed during the on-the-job portion 
of training to perform security func-
tions provided that the individual— 

(1) Is closely supervised; and 
(2) Does not make independent judg-

ments as to whether individuals or 
property may enter a sterile area or 
aircraft without further inspection. 

(c) 

Failure of operational test. 

No air-

craft operator may use an individual to 
perform a screening function after that 
individual has failed an operational 
test related to that function, until that 
individual has successfully completed 
the remedial training specified in the 
aircraft operator’s security program. 

(d) 

Annual proficiency review. 

Each in-

dividual assigned screening duties shall 
receive an annual evaluation. The air-
craft operator must ensure that a 
Ground Security Coordinator conducts 
and documents an annual evaluation of 
each individual who performs screening 
functions. An individual who performs 
screening functions may not continue 
to perform such functions unless the 
evaluation demonstrates that the indi-
vidual— 

(1) Continues to meet all qualifica-

tions and standards required to per-
form a screening function; 

(2) Has a satisfactory record of per-

formance and attention to duty based 
on the standards and requirements in 
the aircraft operator’s security pro-
gram; and 

(3) Demonstrates the current knowl-

edge and skills necessary to cour-
teously, vigilantly, and effectively per-
form screening functions.
