Aviation Organizations Seek Protection Of Personal Information
Four major aviation organizations are urging the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to restrict the broad distribution of personal information tied to aircraft registrations. The groups, including AOPA, EAA, NBAA, and Vertical Aviation International, argue that owner names, addresses, and similar information should only be disclosed when necessary for the purposes of the aircraft registry. This move comes as the FAA implements privacy provisions in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. The story was first reported by an unknown source.
