Plug his name into the FAA's database and you should be able to see
his certificates and ratings.

Wrong. You can opt to have nothing displayed.

Interesting. In spite of the statement on the FAA's registry website
stating that they are required to make certificate information available
to the public, and Sylvain's post stating that although he thought he
had his certificate information removed, that it is still there, you
insist that one can opt to have nothing displayed.

There are others on rec.aviation.pilot who have expressed a desire to
have their certificate and medical info removed from the database.
Perhaps you could post the procedure for doing so and help them out.

I've never done it, but if you go to the airman certification page, it
gives instructions. I've known quite a few people who have done this.
