RAIC question

Post by Lacey_132 »

I had contact with the police in December 2017/January 2018 for mental health checks and at another point in 2018 when I had a physical health problem and they were on scene. Will this affect my ability to get a RAIC in the future? I have never been arrested and have no criminal charges. Want to know before I sink too much money into it.

It all depends on how they want to score you that day and a whole bunch of other factors.

What does: "before i sink too much money into it" mean? Your employer should be covering any costs associated with it.

This person may just be starting flight training and is looking ahead a few years.

You're funny. Try having some documents certified translated from other countries.

A wellness check shouldn't affect you, but if you were fingerprinted at the time then that may raise a flag during your background check.

Stop saying this … you’re giving people false information. Anytime you have police contact a record is generated, also called a local indice. When applying for a RAIC they’ll do a LERC search and this info will show up. What they do with that information is anyone’s guess.

Does that also apply when they pull you over for speeding or a broken tail light?

I wouldn't sweat it.

These aren't criminal things or associations.

Move on with your life. You'll be fine.

Depends on the circumstances, did they issue a warning about the tail light? Then yes .. but whatever .. this topic has been discussed countless times ..

You could go get a job with ATS on airside while doing your flight training, they are desperate for ground handlers, you get a first hand view of airside operations, and you need a RAIC to do the job so you'll find out long before you spend too much money learning to fly if you qualify for one.

That's certainly a novel way of approaching things :D

Would it work though? Ground handlers typically get a RAIC for one airport only, while aircrew get the red canada wide one. Are there different security checks for both?

They’re the same background check, no separate checks when it comes to the RAIC background check, you’re limited to which areas of the airports you can access.
