Notably, this is the same program that SpaceX tried to use to prevent the tracking of CEO Elon Musk’s private jet. The agency adds that PIA is “limiting the extent to which the aircraft can be quickly and easily identified by non-U.S.government entities, while ensuring there is no adverse effect on services.” “Real-time tracking of the geographic location of a specific aircraft is possible, generating privacy concerns for the aircraft operator community,” explains the FAA on its website.
The system is designed so that some aircraft can fly under a temporary vehicle address that isn’t directly assigned to the owner registered in the Civil Aircraft Registry - theoretically, anonymizing the vehicle - while also remaining trackable by the FAA, according to the agency. The Federal Aviation Administration’s plans to transition to a third-party system designed to limit the public’s ability to track certain aircraft appear to be running years behind.īack in 2019, the aviation agency announced a new program called the Privacy International Civil Aviation Organization aircraft address, or PIA, program.
