Private Jet Sweeps

What a private jet sweep is — and what it is not.

A private jet sweep is a technical security assessment of the aircraft cabin and the areas passengers use, carried out before a flight where sensitive conversations are expected. It is designed to identify potential technical surveillance concerns and to document the condition of the cabin before boarding.

It is not aircraft maintenance and it does not replace the operator’s security program. ICUnit works alongside the operator, the FBO and the crew, under their procedures, and hands the cabin over as a controlled space that is then managed under the client’s security arrangements.

A controlled-space process

Sweep. Verify. Seal.

A disciplined, documented sequence for the moments that matter most: the flight before a closing, the boardroom before a vote, the suite before a negotiation.

  1. 01

    Sweep.

    A technical and physical inspection of the aircraft before a high-value meeting or flight, coordinated with the people responsible for it.

  2. 02

    Verify.

    Observations are reviewed and documented, and anything that needs further attention is raised before the space is used.

  3. 03

    Seal.

    Once the inspection is complete, the aircraft can be treated as a controlled space under the client’s established security procedures until it is used.

“Seal” describes a process, not a guarantee. The integrity of a controlled space depends on the access controls and procedures the client maintains after handover, and we advise on those as part of the engagement.

FAQ

Questions clients ask

Answers from a Licensed PI and TSCM-Certified specialist.

How long before departure is a sweep done?
As close to departure as the operator’s schedule allows, so the period between inspection and boarding is as short and as controlled as possible.
What does “seal” mean?
Once the inspection is complete, the aircraft can be treated as a controlled space under the client’s established security procedures, for example managed access to the cabin until the principal boards. It describes a process, not a guarantee.
Can you sweep the aircraft on return?
Yes. Some clients request an inspection on arrival or before a return leg, particularly after the aircraft has been left unattended at another airport.
