Security
Intentional threats and protection
Security is not the same as flight safety. This topic covers intentional threats, sabotage, and protective measures.
Key concepts
- Security vs safety
- Safety — accident prevention; security — protection against intentional threats and unauthorised access.
- Protective measures
- UAS and data protection, access control, and incident reporting.
Common mistakes
- Confusing security with flight safety
- Assuming security applies only to commercial operators
Exam traps
- Definition of security
- Who is responsible for reporting an incident
Real-world example
An unauthorised person attempts to take control of the UAS — this is a security incident, not a meteorology question.
