The recent discussions around ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast) technology highlight concerns regarding privacy for aircraft identification. Current regulations require planes to broadcast their flight data, which includes identifying information likened to a 'license plate.' This presents challenges for high-profile individuals seeking anonymity while airborne, though there are temporary options available for privacy. A new feature from the FAA is the introduction of anonymous IDs for private aircraft, which aims to enhance privacy against public tracking, while data related to a PIA (Privately Identifiable Information) is exempt from FOIA requests, suggesting better protections for sensitive information.
