FAA says Private-Plane Flight Plans Must Be Public
Private-plane owners will no longer be able to cite privacy and instead must provide a “valid security concern” to have flight information blocked from public viewing, the U.S. Transportation Department said. “Both general aviation and commercial aircraft use the public airspace and air traffic control facilities, and the public has a right to information about their activities,” Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in the statement.

I have not filed a flight plan in years (retired). Don't give 'em any ideas, however. Freedom to Fly is basic FREEDOM 101. FAA, TSA have all lost their minds. How dumb can you be and still breath. No one has the right to know where I'm going in my airplane, just as no one has the right to know where I'm going in my truck. Pilots, you hold the meaning of AMERICA (freedom), on your shoulders. You are this country's FIRST line of Defense. Open your eyes and resist any attempt to restrict or deny this basic Freedom, OR AMERICA is doomed to fail. JD
Personally, those who's already have private listings do so for a reason. Its not a public aircraft, so its travel does not and should not need to be publicly made. If the US had a private sector of the NAS, I'm sure these same individuals and company's would rather fly within them
This is a non-issue. If individuals or corporations wish to block their tail numbers, let them! They're not blocked from law enforcement or the FAA, so what's the point?
I think the only people who need privacy is people who got a death treat or something.
Chris, what in the hell are you talking about?
It gives information to a vandal or thief to rob your home! Perhaps lookup your tail number and come to your home for some insane reason, like they didn't like the noise your airplane made.
