Attention:
As of May 15, 2023, the Air Traffic Control (ATC), Aircraft Surface Movement (ASM), and AOA Familiarization Icons will no longer require a stamp from LAX Airport Operations.
The new procedure for these icons requires the Computer Based Training (CBT) certificate, signed by the Authorized Signer, be printed and presented to the Security Badge Office (SBO) during the check-in process at the employee’s badge renewal appointment.
Please see below for details on each class
