NAFA: FAA Privacy Safeguards Could Delay Aircraft Transactions
FAA is withholding access to documents still in process at the Aircraft Registry
The National Aircraft Finance Association (NAFA) is warning that a recent FAA security and privacy order could result in delays and a lack of transparency surrounding aircraft transactions and registration. FAA Order 1370.121B, “FAA Information Security and Privacy: Policy” essentially bars the disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII).
As such, the FAA’s Civil Aviation Registry has removed electronic access to “Work in Process” (WIP) documents, NAFA said, pointing to an FAA statement that “After consultation with the FAA Privacy Office, it has been determined that, because documents in WIP have not been reviewed for PII or accepted into the aircraft record, the Registry can no longer provide access to these documents.”
