Lead Firearms Instructors (LFIs) are the first point of contact for Federal Flight Deck Officers when they arrive at the training venue; they check them in, verify weapons and credentials, conduct training, and oversee the course of fire at the gun‑range. They ensure the safety of all personnel on the range, secure SSI and SPII information during and after requalification sessions, oversee time keeping of all SFI labor hours, and comply with internal compliance training events.

LFIs are the on‑site training manager for the program, conduct all classroom instruction, deliver the approved TSA training and safety brief, introduce and describe new equipment, and ensure all students sign the safety briefing. They maintain a minimum instructor‑to‑student ratio of 1:6, keep a sufficient inventory of training supplies, verify weapons and credentials before training, ensure proper target scoring and completion of administrative forms, certify qualification scores, and handle unloaded weapons and equipment when a candidate fails to qualify.

They secure SSI and SPII in compliance with TSA MD 2100.2, Privacy and Information Collection Policy, and TSA MD 1400.3, TSA Information Security Policy.
