Job Description: Lead Firearms Instructors (LFIs) are the first point of contact for Federal Flight Deck Officers when they arrive at the training venue; are responsible for checking them in; verifying weapons and credentials; conducting training and overseeing the course of fire at the gun-range.

Lead Firearms Instructors (LFIs) are the first point of contact at the training venue for Federal Flight Deck Officers (FFDO) and are the on-site training manager for the program. LFIs conduct all classroom instruction; deliver the approved TSA training and safety brief; introduce and describe new equipment; and ensure all students understand and sign the safety briefing. The LFI ensures a minimum number of SFIs are present to maintain an instructor/student ratio of 1:6 for each training session.

The LFI must ensure a sufficient inventory of training supplies is on-hand at the training venue to support monthly requalification sessions. The LFI is expected to maintain positive control of the training environment from arrival to departure. Upon arrival, LFIs must verify weapons and credentials of each FFDO before training commences by visual inspection. The LFI is responsible for proper scoring of targets;

completion of applicable administrative forms; and collection of training data. The LFI is required to sign and certify qualification scores for all FFDOs attempting to qualify. If an FFDO fails to qualify, an authorized FAMS Representative and/or LFI takes custody of the unloaded weapon, transport device (lockbox), credential and other equipment for return to TSA/FAMS. If no authorized FAMS representative is present, the LFI must notify the FFDO Program Office to arrange return of equipment and credentials.

The LFI must keep all SSI and SPII secured during and after a re-qualification session in compliance with TSA MD 2100.2;
Privacy and Information Collection Policy and TSA MD 1400.3 TSA Information Security Policy. The LFI oversees time keeping of all SFI labor hours. The LFI must comply with internal compliance training events.

Education / Equivalent Training: Current or former federal law enforcement agent, officer, or civilian employee having completed a recognized federal firearm instructor training program deemed acceptable by the TSA/FAMS.
