Background Checks

Staying Safe & Secure

Our contractors are often given unescorted access to secure areas - whether you're working at a small regional hangar or an international aviation hub, you're required to undergo a full ten year background verification (in accordance with F.A.A. regulations).

F.A.A. Regulations


In accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulation Part 107.31 and as your employer, we are entitled to ask you if you have ever been convicted of a felony or acquitted by reason of insanity for a felony. In addition, new Federal Aviation Administration regulations (as of 01/31/96) require us, as your employer, to perform a complete ten year background verification.
