In a significant legislative change, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill, recently signed into law by President Joe Biden, allows private aircraft owners to keep their registration information anonymous. This amendment responds to long-standing complaints from high-profile individuals, such as singer Taylor Swift and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, about the ease with which the public can track their private jet locations. Previously, private plane owners were required to register their aircraft ownership information with the FAA civil registry, making the information publicly accessible. This transparency enabled online enthusiasts and environmental activists to combine public registration data with open radar mapping, effectively tracking the movement of private jets owned by wealthy individuals. Under the new law, private aircraft owners can request that the government conceal personal identifying information associated with their planes, making it virtually impossible to track them via live tracking on the internet, addressing privacy concerns among the elite.
