FFDO stands for?

• A. Free Flight Data Office
• B. Federal Flight Dispatch Operator
• C. Federal Flight Deck Officer
• D. Flight Deck Federal Officer

Answer: (C)

FFDO is an acronym tied to aviation security terminology. The correct expansion is Federal Flight Deck Officer. This designation refers to a federally authorized individual—typically a pilot—who is trained and cleared to carry a firearm in the cockpit to deter or respond to a hijacking threat. The program is a post-9/11 security measure overseen by federal agencies, giving trained flight crew the authority to defend the flight deck. Other proposed expansions don’t match the official designation, so they don’t reflect the recognized title used in this context.
