We may suspend or stop providing our Services to you without any prior notification if you do not comply with our terms or if we are investigating suspected misconduct.

In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you (the Service Consumer) announcements, administrative messages, and other information.

    We are providing you our Services in accordance with the HR 302 FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018: Section 566: RIGHT TO PRIVACY WHEN USING AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM[1].   If you wish to redistribute any information gained through this Service, you may not characterize it as FAA data.

    If you choose to use additional Services from us, you must review and accept an additional agreement for each Service.  Any additional terms applicable to different Services can be found in section 4.5 of the relevant Service Description Document.

    Privacy Policies

    Our privacy policies explain how we treat your data and protect your privacy when you use our Services. By using our Services, you agree that we can use such data in accordance with our privacy policies, including but not limited to FAA Order 1370.121 - FAA Information Security and Privacy Program & Policy:

     

    https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/orders_notices/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1030708

     

    Each Service Consumer must demonstrate the Service Consumer’s ability to limit the display of or distribution (i.e., block) the aircraft from their systems.  Except under the direction of the aircraft owner or operator, no data (to include historical data) may be displayed or distributed for any aircraft registration or call sign while the aircraft registration or call sign is listed on the FAA Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) program list.  If the aircraft registration or call sign is later removed from the LADD list, a Service Consumer is no longer required to limit the data display for the aircraft registration or call sign.  Historical data for the aircraft or call sign must be limited for time listed for LADD.

     

    Various FAA Services include real time and recent positon and other relevant flight data associated with civil instrument fight rules (IFR) aircraft.   While commercial operators conduct business according to a published listing of service and schedule, general aviation operators and on-demand air charter aircraft operating under 14 CFR part 135 (“on-demand aircraft”) do not.  It is possible that knowledge of certain general aviation and on-demand aircraft operators could compromise the security of individuals or property.  Accordingly, general aviation aircraft identification numbers must be excluded from Services that provide real time positon and other relevant flight data at all times while the aircraft registration or call sign is listed on the LADD list.  Further, even after an aircraft is no longer on the LADD list, any historical data for the aircraft produced while the aircraft was listed on the LADD list must remain protected.

     

    All Service Consumers (as a condition of signing the FAA Terms of Service) and Indirect Consumers (as a condition of signing an agreement with a Service Consumer) must block any general aviation aircraft and on–demand aircraft registration numbers, call signs, or flight numbers included on the FAA-provided Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (i.e., block) list.  If the FAA determines that any Direct or Indirect Consumer develops or markets products that violate this provision, the FAA may suspend or stop Services per Terms of Service (TOS) Section “Using our Services.”

     

    The LADD list represents those private aircraft owners or operators who have requested the limiting of their aircraft flight data from any public dissemination or display while operating within the United States controlled airspace.

     

    The FAA LADD list is made available on the first Thursday of each month.  Service Consumers must access the electronic list of aircraft participating in the Limiting Aircraft Display program via the NAS Aeronautical Data Exchange (ADX) portal at: https://adx.faa.gov and download the “IndustryLADD” list.  Both Service Consumers and Indirect Consumers must update their respective systems within FIVE business days of this monthly publication of the updated LADD list.

     

    For questions regarding this appendix or requesting access to the ADX SCBlockAtIndustry Collaboration Community portal, contact LADD program office at (202) 267-0346 or LADD@faa.gov.
