You can. I got a postcard from the FAA about three years ago describing how to
get your listing out of the database. There was some sort of lawsuit about invasion
of privacy. They tried to actually get the FAA to make the database private, but
the courts ruled simply to allow individuals to restrict their own entries.


There was NO lawsuit. The FAA was just informed (rightfully) that the distribution
of the database was a violation of the privacy act (no bones about it, it was clearly
wrong). They had to get a congressional exemption to reinstate it, but that exemption
included the requirement that pilots be given the chance to opt out and that everybody
be informed of the option.

Unfortunately, if you didn't take that oppurtunity then, the FAA has made it impossible
to opt out now. I've been trying for over a year.
