Who's Watching You? general aviation flight planning

Don't give unwanted people the ability to...
        research the history of your company's travels.
        track every move that your company aircraft makes.
        know where your aircraft is going even before you take off.

Who might these people be?
        The Press
        Your Competitors
        Terrorists
        Current Employees
        Disgruntled Employees
        The Bank
        Governmental Agencies

You want to block your tail numbers so your every move is not public knowledge



FltPlan.com understands this concern and will help you get the job done.
There are two separate sections to explain:
  1. The process of getting the tail number(s) and/or Call Sign(s) blocked.
  2. The process of allowing you and those you authorize to track your aircraft after it is blocked.
  (Note: Fltplan.com does not charge extra for tracking your blocked tail numbers.)

Section 1: Blocking Your Tail Number(s)
    Blocking requests are handled by the NBAA.
    To help make this process easier, the NBAA has given FltPlan.com permission to reference the below information from their website (http://www.nbaa.org)

NBAA manages the BARR program, or Blocked Aircraft Registration Request.
The BARR program is available free of charge to both members and non-members.
Operators with privacy and industrial security concerns for their operations resulting from the availability of Aircraft Situation Display to Industry (ASDI) data have two options for blocking aircraft flight tracking data:
Option #1 - Blocked by ASDI Vendors
  NBAA, through the BARR Program, centrally coordinates with all ASDI vendors to have your aircraft registration number blocked from their respective programs. Blocking the aircraft registration with the ASDI vendors only removes the aircraft registration from the aircraft flight data. Although time delayed for security purposes the general public can still view aircraft type, altitude, speed, departure and arrival airports.
FltPlan.com Note: Use Option #1 if you need to track your aircraft.
Option #2 - Blocked at FAA Source
  For an additional level of security operators may choose to block their aircraft flight data at the FAA Source, which will remove all aircraft flight data before it is transmitted to the ASDI vendors. This means the information never reaches any ASDI vendor and therefore is not incorporated into their system.
FltPlan.com Note: Option #2 will prevent you from tracking your blocked tail number.
How to Block Tail Number(s)
  Aircraft operators must submit a written request to NBAA to participate in the BARR Program.
The request must be printed on a company letterhead and include:
    - The make, model and tail number for each aircraft to be blocked.
    - The signature of the NBAA Member Representative (or if not an NBAA member, the signature of the aircraft owner or operator).
    - A copy of the aircraft registration.

Operators may use the BARR Submission Formatting Form found at http://web.nbaa.org/public/ops/asdi/form.php to automatically format the required information into a letter to mail to NBAA Headquarters.
BARR submissions must be faxed to (202) 478-0035 or mailed to:
