FEDS asked to act on DCA access by August 1

“Secure Access,” a program that would add more requirements to the Transportation Security Administration Access Certificate (TSAAC) program currently being field tested in the New York City area, should be the ticket for allowing business aircraft to operate where airlines are now permitted– namely within TFRs and at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)–said NBAA. The Secure Access program was introduced by NBAA last month. “We ask that the Department of Homeland Security review Secure Access, augment it if necessary and implement it by August 1.”
