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 introduced the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) Program to address privacy concerns for aircraft operators equipping with ADS-B ahead of the upcoming mandate.
- Phase 1 of the PIA program, starting January 1, will allow operators to request a temporary ICAO address via an FAA web portal to prevent public display of real-time ADS-B position and identification.
- The program's second phase, anticipated for mid-2020, will transition the PIA web portal to third-party service providers.
