A crew is performing the last flight of the day, which is a humanitarian aid mission with only cargo on board. Which of the following is correct regarding the security check?

  • A

    This does not need to be done because it is always the decision of the commander if a security check has to be performed or not.

  • B

    This must be carried out, but does not have to be done until just before arriving, since there are no passengers on board.

  • C

    This must be done before departure to avoid the risk of unlawful interference.

  • D

    This can be skipped, since the cargo is not expected to be suspicious.

From ICAO Annex 17:

Aircraft security check. An inspection of the interior of an aircraft to which passengers may have had access and an inspection of the hold for the purposes of discovering suspicious objects, weapons, explosives or other dangerous devices, articles and substances.

  • A security check must be completed prior to every flight to avoid the risk of unlawful interference/stowaway.
