About this episode
In this episode of the More Right Rudder podcast we are joined by Julean Thorpe. She is the manager of flight training security programs at the TSA. Thorpe and her team joined us at NAFI Summit in January 2025 at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. This episode was recorded live at the event. This conversation starts with a brief history of flight training security rules, and then moves into the current policy. We talk about the new website registration requirement and security coordinator position, changes to security awareness training frequency, and the new procedures for training non-U.S. citizens. NAFI thanks Thorpe and her team for taking the time to join us for this episode and all of their efforts to keep the CFI community informed.
