The Crewmember Access Point (CMAP) Program is the TSA’s modernized biometric screening program for eligible airline flight crews, replacing the legacy Known Crewmember (KCM) system. CMAP utilizes TSA’s latest biometric facial comparison technology to positively identify eligible crewmembers. CMAP leverages the same biometric technology as TSA’s PreCheck Touchless ID program. The technology conducts a comparison of the crewmember’s facial image to an image on file with the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Traveler’s Verification System (TVS) allowing verified crewmembers access to the airport sterile area.
TSA is planning a phased rollout of CMAP at select airport locations. The airports listed below are planned for transition from KCM to CMAP. This is a voluntary program that crewmembers will need to Opt-in if they choose to participate. (Note: Once you have opted-in, your airline will store an attestation on your behalf.) During this transition period, if the CMAP program does not complete a match, the Transportation Security Officer (TSO) will provide further instructions to assist the crewmember with access into the airport sterile area.
What to Expect:
- CMAP will be co-located at KCM access point/s during this transition phase.
- Signage will be posted at CMAP locations notifying crewmembers that this system uses biometric comparison technology, and crewmembers may choose to opt-out.
- If CMAP does not grant you access, the TSO will provide further instructions to gain access into the airport sterile area.
- During this transition period, crewmembers must still have their KCM barcode cards and approved government issued IDs available for use.
- Airlines are currently loading data into the CMAP system and crewmembers attempting to use CMAP may not be entered into the system yet.
· It is important to follow the TSO’s instructions.
