With the ADS-B mandate being implemented in less than two months, aircraft owners and operators will have to have an ADS-B transponder installed in order to fly in most controlled airspace. A recently announced program will help aircraft operators keep their trips away from the public eye. At the National Business Aviation Association’s (NBAA) Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas last month, the FAA announced the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) Program for ADS-B-equipped airplanes.
FAA Offers System to Provide Privacy for ADS-B Aircraft
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA has introduced the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) Program for ADS-B-equipped airplanes to address operator privacy concerns ahead of the ADS-B mandate.
- The PIA program prevents the public display of real-time ADS-B position and identification information by issuing temporary ICAO aircraft addresses.
- Phase 1 of the program, launching January 1, allows operators to request privacy via an FAA web portal, with Phase 2 transitioning to third-party providers in mid-2020.
