What is the purpose of Aircraft Security Program (ASP) training for flight attendants?

• A. To prepare crew to recognize and respond to security threats, maintain cabin security, and coordinate with law enforcement.
• B. To train for in-flight entertainment and service protocols
• C. To learn aircraft maintenance procedures
• D. To improve catering efficiency

Answer: (A)

ASP training equips flight attendants to recognize security threats, respond effectively, and keep the cabin secure while coordinating with law enforcement. It teaches how to observe for suspicious behavior or items, assess potential threats, and quickly alert the crew and passengers as needed. It also covers protective actions to maintain cabin security—such as controlling movement, securing aisles and exits, protecting the cockpit, and following procedures that reduce risk during a threat. Coordination with law enforcement is emphasized, including how to report incidents clearly and work with authorities on the ground and during investigations. The other options miss the security focus, covering entertainment, service protocols, maintenance, or catering, which are not the aims of ASP training.
