Federal Aviation Administration age New base, I signed the law Last year, this allows owners of private aircraft to request their names and addresses in particular. According to FAA, this means that the ownership information will not be available on its websites for the general offer.

Electronic request form It is provided For owners for use. The new rule seems to be, at least in part, in response to social media accounts After air travel information about celebrities, like Elon Musk and Taylor Swift.

However, this may not frustrate those who run tracking sites, Those who say they rely on other sources of information for their reports, not just FAA records.

Not a lot of change?

David Getman, CEO of the company Monark Air GroupThe company of a private plane charter, based in Fort Lauderdale, tells that CNET is that the new FAA privacy control will not do much to prevent flying tracking from publishing about arrivals and prominent people.

“There is no physical change,” said Getman. “FAA’s rule allows the owner of the plane to ban ownership information, not the actual tracking of the plane. Most of the aircraft are not owned by the individual, but by a company or confidence.”

GMman said that as prominent people are often photographed, they arrive and leave on aircraft and those images in the end on social media, it is not difficult to follow.

“Once the plane is connected to someone, it becomes easier to follow, as nothing has changed on this side,” he said.

Getman said that special covenants like him can make it more difficult for followers because different aircraft are used at different times for different customers. Tracking as a whole, will not disappear.

“In my opinion, the planes are tracked a certain fact, a recent fact, just like photographers who are chasing celebrities outside restaurants,” said Getman. “Any plane movement, from Taylor Swift to strategic bombers, is available online.”
