FBI Background Check for Pilots

The increased security is something organized labor is keeping its eye on.
The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) estimates that up to 1 million aviation employees who have access to secure areas will be fingerprinted, because no screeners had FBI background checks prior to 1998 and no pilots prior to 1996. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sent out a list of 28 felony convictions that could disqualify an airline employee - such as a pilot, mechanic, or ramp worker - from working in secure areas.

The requests for an FBI background check are processed by the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division. As an individual, you may request a copy of your FBI background check record for personal review or if you wish to challenge information on it. You may also need an FBI background check if you were adopted from abroad, or if you wish to live or work in a foreign country.
