NBAA members and other industry stakeholders now have until June 4 to comment on the FAA’s plan to enhance business aviation security by removing personally identifiable information (PII) from the FAA Aircraft Registry, an effort the association strongly supports.
NBAA encourages member companies to make their voices heard on the issue by weighing in through the Federal Register, a government platform for industry feedback on policy changes.
The association has made the process simple through an alert NBAA has created in NBAA’s Grassroots Action Center, an online advocacy tool. The association has also gathered several thought leaders to assist with NBAA’s comment development on behalf of member companies and is asking for feedback from members. Email your feedback to NBAA’s Laura Everington at leverington@nbaa.org.
NBAA and the business aviation community recognize that the FAA’s aircraft registry is a critical tool for maintaining accurate title and ownership records. That said, aircraft-specific data enable unwanted tracking and exposure of flight operations, compromising the safety of pilots, passengers and companies.
On March 28, the FAA notified the public in Docket FAA-2025-0638 it plans to establish a process that allows private aircraft owners to request that personal data (e.g. name and address) be withheld from public dissemination, in order to satisfy the requirements in Section 803 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024.
