If a FAM Team responds to an incident on an aircraft, what should an armed LEO do?

• A. do NOT move toward activated FAM Team
• B. scan from seat then move to POA
• C. continue scanning for additional threats until given directions from FAM Team
• D. move toward the FAM Team to coordinate

Answer: (C)

When a FAM Team arrives to handle an incident on an aircraft, the team takes overall control of the situation. The armed LEO should stay vigilant and continue to scan the cabin for any additional threats or changes in circumstances, but wait for explicit directions from the FAM Team before taking further action. This keeps the response coordinated and prevents conflicting actions that could put people at risk or complicate the operation. The FAM Team is assessing the threat, managing movement, and issuing commands; following their guidance ensures you’re acting as part of a unified team rather than improvising on your own.
