Re: [FAA] Registry-Airmen personal address publicly availala

You can remove your address electronically. I did it years ago but don't remember exactly how I did it.

Good question, but no good answer. Worse yet, while you can elect to have your address removed, you cannot have other data removed. Hopefully it never happens to you, but should you later in life have restrictions placed on your medical certificate, that will be on the Internet for the whole world to read. If your family doctor did that, the government could come after him for violating the HIPPA rules, but the government does the same thing they don't allow your doctor to do.

The letter you received said that only your name, address, and ratings held will be made available, yet if you follow the link below, you will also find your medical information.

Don't hide your address as an instructor please! Just kidding, you can do what you want. But the site I am launching in January offers the ability to sign up as an instructor. It runs a database lookup upon instructor registration to verify you are in fact an instructor. With your address hidden it will almost certainly require administrative assistance (by me) to pass you into the system as an instructor. Don't make my job so hard punks!!! :)

PS The FAA won't get me a database with certificate ID's (obviously) so I have no other way to do it but this.

Yeah it's so dumb. I sent in that sheet thinking it would remove everything, but it only took out my address.

To remove your address send an email to:

9-AMC-AFS760-Airmen@faa.gov


Here's what I sent them:

Please do not release my mailing address for any purposes, except as required by law.


First, Middle, Last

Commercial Certificate 12345678, issued 1/1/1900

CFI Certificate 123445678CFI, issued 1/1/1900

1 day later they responded with:

Congress and the President in 2000 enacted the Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century, and Section 715 allows the FAA to again make airmen’s addresses available to the general public.



If you choose to not have your address made available, you may not receive important aviation information from aviation associations and industry concerning safety, flying techniques, new products, legislative and regulatory positions, or aviation-related events. You will continue to receive information produced and mailed by the FAA.



Please be aware that information regarding your certificate(s) cannot be withheld from the public, such as the type certificate(s) you hold and the ratings on the certificate(s). The Privacy Act does not cover this information. However, your personal information such as date of birth, social security number, height, weight, etc. is covered by the Privacy Act and is not released to the public.



The FAA takes no responsibility for information on any private Internet web site.



******************************

I input a code into your airman record that indicates you don’t want to have your address made available to the general public.



Your address will be removed from the Active Airmen Database. The website is updated each federal work day at midnight and the downloadable file is updated monthly.



The Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century, in addition to other statutory requirements, require us to make airmen CERTIFICATE information available to the public.

At least now it'll take an extra hour or two for the media to harass my family if anything happens to me.
 
Re: [FAA] Registry-Airmen personal address publicly availala

Apparently my FAA medical expired several years ago....good to know :)
 
Re: [FAA] Registry-Airmen personal address publicly availala

Yeah, I withheld my address (and tried to withhold my medical info to no avail) about 9 months ago and got the same form letter. All I know is I can't give out addresses or other personal information at work due to the Privacy Act of 1974 but it's okay to have airman's personal information available to the public because of its impact on safety? Right...

Don't we all?

How often do they update that system? I entered everything as it appears on my license and received no results. It's been over a year though, so Id think, even at the governments snail pace, I'd be in there by now.
 
Re: [FAA] Registry-Airmen personal address publicly availala

Can anyone say why this information is publicly available? Can I find similar information on my doctor? If some public database must be maintained, why not something like this:

J. Smith

CPL, current medical

So just initial, name and highest certificate.
