TSA Eligibility Records (FTSP / AFSP)

What this feature does

Aloft360 stores your school's citizenship and TSA eligibility information. It does not submit applications, retrieve live TSA determinations or establish that training may begin.

TSA's current program is the Flight Training Security Program (FTSP), formerly AFSP. Some Aloft360 screens still use the AFSP label. Use the current TSA portal and provider guidance for the required process, including training-event notifications and other provider responsibilities.

Open a student's record

Open the member's profile from your member list and select TSA / AFSP. Access is available to the authorized owner, admin and CFI roles. Keep identity documents and other sensitive information out of shared scheduling notes.

Record citizenship and eligibility information

Choose the appropriate citizenship status from the available options. For a non-citizen record, the form includes:

• TSA Case Number: the reference for the student's TSA record.
• Approval Status: Pending, Approved, Denied or Expired, as supported by the current evidence.
• Approval Date: the date on the determination.
• Expiry Date: the actual applicable end date; do not calculate it from an old training-category assumption.
• Notes: relevant follow-up and conditions, without unnecessary sensitive information.

Save the record and check the values after saving. A status badge reflects the information entered by the school. It is not a live verification from TSA.

Before covered training begins

The responsible person should determine which requirements apply, review the evidence in TSA's system and complete required provider actions. Set the app's status only after that review. Merely changing the field to Approved does not authorize training.

The 2024 FTSP changes introduced time-based assessments that may cover up to five years, subject to conditions. Follow the actual determination, the current rules and provider guidance. Review a returning student's current situation rather than relying only on an old screenshot.

Keep the follow-up assigned

Decide who reviews approaching dates and missing information, contacts the student and records completion. Use your school's procedure for holding affected training while a question remains unresolved. Do not assume that recording a date automatically creates a booking restriction or sends every reminder you need.

See the FTSP recordkeeping guide for a practical review checklist, and 49 CFR Part 1552 for the governing requirements. Direct program questions to TSA through the FTSP support process.
