The U.S. Senate moved to reinstate the Block Aircraft Registration Request (BARR) program last week with an appropriations bill that passed by a 69-30 vote, heating up a fight that began earlier this year after the FAA announced plans to restrict the program.
The bill prohibits the appropriated funds from being used to limit participation in BARR, a program established a decade ago to allow aircraft owners to opt-out of having their N-number and flight tracking information made public.
