Which Part covers airport security?

• A. Part 77
• B. Part 1542
• C. Part 107
• D. Part 36

Answer: (B)

Airport security is addressed in Part 1542. This part establishes the requirements for airport operators to develop and implement an Airport Security Program, coordinate with the Transportation Security Administration, and manage security measures such as access control, screening procedures, surveillance, and incident response. It also covers security staffing, background checks, and liaison with law enforcement to protect airport facilities and operations. The other parts cover different areas: Part 77 deals with objects affecting navigable airspace, Part 107 regulates small unmanned aircraft operations, and Part 36 specifies airworthiness standards. So Part 1542 is the one that specifically focuses on airport security.
