As the Jan. 1 ADS-B deadline draws closer, NBAA’s Heidi Williams and Doug Carr answer operators’ questions about how to maintain their privacy utilizing the FAA’s new Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) and Privacy ICAO Address programs, both of which were advocated for by NBAA. LADD builds upon earlier privacy programs, but will “tremendously enhance an operator’s assurance of where their FAA-derived tracking data is going,” Carr noted. Also, if an operator previously registered for the Block Aircraft Registration Request (BARR) program, they are automatically transitioned to LADD, noted Willems, who also provided tips for those who will not be ADS-B compliant by the beginning of the new year.
In this episode of NBAA Flight Plan, host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
Heidi Williams, director of air traffic services and infrastructure, NBAA
Doug Carr, vice president of regulatory and international affairs, NBAA

The National Pause for General Aviation Safety is an industry-wide initiative, supported by NBAA, which encourages pilots and operators to take the time to proactively address complacency, communication breakdowns and other potential issues affecting our industry.
Professional development plays a crucial role in advancing a career in business aviation, but it can be difficult for the industry's young professionals to find the time - and finances - to pursue opportunities for growth. However, there are many paths that can yield a valuable "return on you," that are worth seeking out.
