Aircraft owners can now block their personal information, including names and addresses, from public display on FAA websites, the agency announced on Friday. This change, mandated by Section 803 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 (Public Law 118-63), enables owners to submit privacy requests through the Civil Aviation Registry Electronic Services (CARES) system.

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) welcomed the FAA’s decision to strengthen data privacy protections, citing security concerns for business aviation operators. NBAA has been advocating for improved privacy and held a panel on the subject at the 2024 NBAA-BACE convention in Las Vegas.
