The moment the call ends

  • Keep the caller talking — do not hang up first. Let the line stay open.
  • Signal a colleague to alert AVSEC / CISF while the call continues.
  • Note the exact time the call ended and the number shown, if any.
  • Report up the chain at once — supervisor, then AVSEC control room.
  • If an item is found: do not touch it. Clear, cordon, and control the area.
  • Never forward or repeat the threat casually — a false threat is a crime.
Take every threat seriously — report up the chain at once.Wings Institute · AVSEC
