11.1. Security Controls

General aviation aircraft at airports shall not be parked in close proximity to aircraft which are used for commercial flights in order to avoid breach of security measures applied to those aircraft, baggage, cargo and mail to be carried on-board. Provisions to separate screened passengers of commercial flights from occupants of general aviation aircraft shall be implemented, based on the following criteria: at major airports, physical arrangements and/or security controls shall be introduced to prevent mixing of departing and arriving occupants of general aviation aircraft with passengers who have been already security screened; if possible, departing and arriving occupants of general aviation aircraft shall pass through a separate general aviation terminal and, also, when embarking or disembarking on the apron, shall either be separated from security screened passengers, or be transported in a special bus or car, or be under constant surveillance; if no separate terminal is available, occupants of general aviation aircraft shall either: pass through a separate part of the terminal building and be escorted or transported by bus or car to and from their aircraft; be subject to security screening prior to entering the security restricted area, if passing through security restricted areas of the terminal building is unavoidable; or be subject to other security controls achieving the same effect depending on local circumstances.
