General Aviation

DASSP basics: The DCA Access Standard Security Program requires gateway airport screening, vetted passengers and crew, and advance reservations. Operators should coordinate with their FBO and consult TSA guidance well before the planned arrival.

General aviation at DCA is tightly controlled under the TSA's DC Access Standard Security Program (DASSP). Most GA flights use the single on‑airport FBO and must follow gateway, vetting and escort requirements.
