Which training course must be completed to fly armed?

• A. CPR certification
• B. First aid training
• C. TSA LEO Flying Armed Training Course
• D. Firearms proficiency test

Answer: (C)

The main concept is the official training required for law enforcement officers to carry firearms on an aircraft. This is a TSA-approved Flying Armed Training Course designed specifically for LEOs who are authorized to fly armed. It covers in-flight weapon safety, legal authority and use-of-force policies, procedures for arming and disarming in the cabin, coordination with flight crew, and how to respond to in-flight incidents. This course creates the standardized authorization and knowledge needed to carry a weapon on a flight, which general medical trainings or standard firearms tests do not provide. CPR certification and first aid training are valuable for medical emergencies but do not address armed-operation rules on aircraft. A firearms proficiency test ensures weapon handling skills but not the aviation-specific procedures and TSA authorization required to fly armed.
