NAFA member Gilchrist Aviation Law shares the Aircraft Title Lawyer & Title Company Coalition's joint response to the FAA.
On May 23, 2025, the Aircraft Title Lawyer & Title Company Coalition (“ATLTCC”) submitted a joint response to the FAA’s request for comment to withhold certain aircraft registration information from public dissemination. If you are unfamiliar with the FAA’s privacy proposal and the related request for comment, we encourage you to read part one of our “Flying Private” series to learn more about the scope and implications of this new directive.
As expected, the new rule has drawn significant attention from across the aviation industry, with numerous stakeholders weighing in to express their support or concerns. In total, more than 600 comments were submitted during the public comment period, which closed on June 4, 2025.
The ATLTCC is an informal association of aviation title companies and law firms, Gilchrist Aviation Law being a part of this group. Given their proximity to the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center and the FAA Aircraft Registry in Oklahoma City, these companies play a vital role in the aircraft transaction ecosystem. While the ATLTCC does not regularly meet, the FAA’s introduction of a privacy option for aircraft registration prompted a united response from those most deeply involved in the examination of FAA records.
