Performance testing under operational conditions service

Do you need a service provider authorized to carry out performance testing under operational conditions? Airport Aviation Security is on hand to organize tests from A to Z in your airport.

What is performance testing under operational conditions?

The aim of this test is to assess the performance of security officers, by trying to take dummy prohibited items (weapons, explosives, etc.) into Security Restricted Areas.
Here, it is used to access the whole screening chain, from security officer efficiency to detection methods implemented and material resources used.

Performance testing under operational conditions can focus on the following security measures:

  • Controlling access to Security Restricted Areas;
  • Protecting aircraft;
  • Screening passengers and carry-on baggage;
  • Screening staff and items carried;
  • Screening cargo and mail;
  • Protecting cargo and mail;
  • Screening checked baggage.

How do you set up performance testing under operational conditions?

Performance testing under operational conditions is organized and carried out based on specific methodology, defined by the DGAC - the French Civil Aviation Authority.
We have all the authorizations required for carrying out performance testing under operational conditions, including authorization certifying the training validated by the French DGAC for creating dummy explosives.

To ensure this performance testing under operational conditions, we provide you with a schedule detailing the number of tests which will be carried out each month. We take care of everything, from creating dummy prohibited items to hiring testers.
