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 launched the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) Program to address privacy concerns for aircraft operators mandated to use ADS-B transponders.
- The PIA program allows operators to prevent the public display of real-time ADS-B position and identification information.
- Aircraft owners can request a temporary ICAO address via an FAA web portal, with Phase 1 beginning January 1 and Phase 2 (transition to third-party providers) expected in mid-2020.
