![]() "Joe Johnson" wrote in message om... My understanding is that "opt out" means they won't give your name & address to vendors. It'll still be listed in the registry AFAIK. Actually, "opt out" is a real crock. There's no guarantee that the FAA takes any special action on opt out requests (although they do sometimes). |

Actually, "opt out" is a real crock. There's no guarantee that the FAA takes any special action on opt out requests (although they do sometimes). I emailed them according to their instructions for opting out the day I found my address online. I received this response: Mr. Perkins, I have input a code into your airman record which will indicate that you do not wish 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, requires us to make airmen CERTIFICATE information available to the public. Regards, Judy Johnson, AFS-760 Based on that, I'd have to say that I can expect my address to disappear from FAA-provided lists within 40 days. Not that King and Sporty's, or their agents, won't correlate my full name and cert number with the list they've *already* purchased, but there you are.

I received this response: Mr. Perkins, I have input a code into your airman record which will indicate that you do not wish to have your address made available to the general public. Yes, I've done that too, but that's not what the ACT says. The act says I can chose to be completely removed from the public dissemintation. The Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century, in addition to other statutory' requirements, requires us to make airmen CERTIFICATE information available to the public. The above is complete bull**** and indicative of the stupidity and corruption inherent in the FAA. There is NO requirement that htey make the pilot information available (and many pilots are omitted). AIR-21 says EXACTLY the opposite from what they are espousing. It specifically says that the information must be omitted at the request of the pilot. FURTHERMORE, the information released is in exceess of what AIR-21 specifically allows. Note that makes the FAA in violation of the privacy act. The wording in AIR-21 provides a specific necessary exemption for them. |
