Privacy International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Address Program

The Privacy International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Address Program is a voluntary program initiated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that allows U.S. registered aircraft operators flying within the airspace of the United States to seek anonymity to mask their aircraft movements and identity for a period of time while flying within sovereign airspace of the U.S. The Privacy ICAO Address Program will authorize U.S. registered aircraft operators to use an additional, temporary ICAO address(s), instead of its uniquely assigned permanent ICAO address published in the FAA’s Civil Aviation Registry (CAR). The temporary address(es) will not be linked to the public ownership registry, i.e. CAR, which connects the aircraft registration (tail number visible on all aircraft) with the owner of the aircraft. This evolution in the anonymity process is greatly desired by members of the general aviation community, including specifically business aviation operators.
