TSA Compliance Coordinator - PCS also provides security experts on staff who can guide new operators through their first few compliance trips. This allows flight crews to integrate the program into normal operations under the watchful eye of a security expert. This expert is on site to answer unique questions for each operator, and ensure that the integration process runs smoothly, while maintaining full TSA compliance. Once the operator is comfortable with the new program, our coordinators remain available for periodic spot checks, or for telephone and email correspondence.
