Aviation Organizations Press For Tighter Controls On Personal Information
Four major aviation organizations, including AOPA, EAA, NBAA, and Vertical Aviation International, are urging the FAA to restrict the broad distribution of personal information tied to aircraft registrations. The groups argue that such information should only be disclosed when necessary for the purposes of the aircraft registry, citing concerns about privacy and security. The FAA has been considering changes to its privacy provisions since the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. This development was reported by an unknown source.
