June 29, 2011 - U.S. Sens. Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Mark Begich (D-AK) led a letter with fellow Senators to tell the Department of Transportation (DOT) not to end the Block Aircraft Registration Request (BARR) program before Congress finishes work on the pending FAA Reauthorization bill.
The BARR program allows pilots and passengers on aircraft operating under instrument flight rules to protect their privacy by opting not to make their real-time flight tracking information available to the public. Electing to keep flight information private prohibits third-party websites from disseminating real-time flight tracking information.
