The FAA announced last month that private aircraft owners and operators can now withhold certain ownership information (e.g., names and addresses) from public view. Prior to this announcement, the name and address of aircraft owners was publicly disclosed on the FAA’s Aircraft Registration Branch website. If interested, the FAA detailed the process by private aircraft owners can submit requests to withhold ownership information through FAA’s Civil Aviation Registry Electronic Services. Comments are also encouraged by May 5, 2025, on the impact if the FAA removed such information for private aircraft owners categorically and permitted owners to request copies of their information rather than removing such information only upon individual request.
