Steps to Register in the
Flight Training Security Program (FTSP).
Contact Savannah Aviation about your interest in flight training, then follow these steps:
​
-
Create an account at https://fts.tsa.dhs.gov.
-
Submit a request for a flight training event under "Savannah Aviation (GA)".
-
Choose either Initial, Instrument, or Multi-Engine flight training (category 3).
-
Under aircraft, put "C-172, PA-28, and "SR-20" for Initial/Instrument and "PA-30" for Multi-Engine.
-
Once a training event request has been submitted, TSA sends the candidate an email with instructions on how to complete the request process. Each step must be completed before a candidate can advance to the next step.
-
Once all items are completed, TSA performs a security threat assessment to determine whether the candidate poses a threat to aviation or national security.
-
Once the request is submitted, the applicant will submit fingerprints and payment to TSA.
-
After 1-3 weeks, TSA will approve/deny the request.
-
Training needs to begin 180 days of final approval and needs to be completed 365 days after initiation of training.
