October 2011 -- We recently underwent Cockpit Breach Survival Training provided by Aviation Secure USA whose motto is "Defending America's Flight Crews." Kristopher Cannon, Director of Operations, assisted by Otto Muller, were the trainers.

Takeaways

  1. Incidents of cockpit incursions, kidnapping and hotel incursions have been escalating.
  2. Don't get hijacked or kidnapped! Once they have you under their control, you have limited options for survival.
  3. With demonstration and repeated practice the pilots in our group were able to learn a few techniques to disarm an armed intruder.
  4. Male and female participants were able to successfully disarm a kidnapper and escape the grasp of someone trying to force them into a getaway vehicle.
  5. Exposed to loud gunfire, threatening shouts and the smelled the cordite, we learned how to control our fear and act decisively in a hotel takeover.

ELEMENTS OF A BREACH AND KIDNAP SECURITY TRAINING PROGRAM

  1. Engage the services of an expert to identify your organization's exposures to to hijacking, kidnap, hotel takeovers and other exposures to loss.
  2. Incorporate of Cockpit Breach and Security Awareness Training into the organization's overall personnel security and contingency response policies and procedures.
  3. Include Anti Kidnap and Hostile Hotel Takeover Training.
  4. Conduct cockpit breach survival training for all pilots, cabin attendants and armed security guards -- inside an aircraft as well as in the gymn.
  5. Conduct kidnap and hostile hotel takeover training in a mock hotel setting with actual fire arms firing blank amo.
  6. Plan to have annual recurrent training sessions -- plus new employee training.

We encourage corporate risk managers with flight departments to consider this training, and in the very least, to put cockpit breach, kidnap and hotel takeover on their list of event risks that can be controlled or avoided.
