I have two questions about FAA and TSA Inspections after going through some re-current training.
1. FAA Enroute Inspection Forms. This is the first time I've heard of this. First, what is the Enroute Inspection Form? Second, does an FAA rep. technically need this form before they start digging through your licenses, Jepp charts, etc.? From my understanding, the FAA would need to present you with Form 110A to ride along. However, can they dig through your licenses, medical, Jepps, etc. if they don't have an Enroute Inspection Form? For example, an FAA guy who just wants to ride along from Point A to B in order to catch a ball game at Point B.
2. TSA Inspectors. I've heard there has been an over-aggressive TSA agent in Little Rock who comes down the jetways and demands to see the FAA certificates and medicals from the flight crew. Does TSA have that authority? I thought TSA only needs to check your badge and nothing else. However, would a TSA agent's request for your license and medical fall under the FAR, that a pilot must surrender their license to any local, state or federal law enforcement official? Personally, a captain of mine told me not to let that TSA board the airplane and too call that person's supervisor, should I face that TSA rep.
What do you think?
