The owner of a private jet can now ask for the confidentiality of its name and address, thanks to the rules Formulate Last week by the Federal Aviation Administration (USA) Signed as law last year. According to the FAA, ownership information will not be publicly available on its website.

Electronic request form Provided Let owners make their private jets more private.
However, this may not prevent those who run tracking websites Report In the early days of The Verge, they said they rely on other sources of information for their reports, not just FAA records.
Private jet privacy: Not much change?
David Gitman, CEO Monarch Aviation GroupA private jet rental company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, told CNET that the FAA’s new privacy controls will not prevent flight trackers from publishing publicity and actions about prominent people.
“There is no significant change,” Gitman said. “The FAA ruling allows aircraft owners to block ownership information rather than actual tracking of the aircraft. Most aircraft are not owned by individuals, but by companies or trusts.”
Gitman said that because high-profile people are often photographed on planes and set off, the photos end up appearing on social media, it is not difficult to track them.
“Once the plane is connected to a person, it becomes easier to track because nothing changes on that side,” he said.
Gitman said a private charter like him could make tracking of trackers more difficult because different aircraft are used for different customers at different times. However, the overall tracking has not disappeared.
“In my opinion, airplane stalking is a given modern reality, like a dog stalker outside a restaurant,” Gitman said. “Any airplane movement from Taylor Swift to strategic bombers is available online.”
Daniel Findley, Deputy Director Institute of Transportation Research and Education At North Carolina State University, the FAA move is unlikely to affect people in their field or people in other fields of research, as the crew is not the focus, so the flight tracking was performed.
“It’s not that important for the vast majority of people who track flights, own or board the plane,” Findlay said.
