When I bought my plane equipped with ADSB it could not be tracked on flight tracking apps. I assumed this was from previous owner request during avionics install.
My new avionics install is about done, a test flight has been completed, I was not able to see any tracking-flight aware says this is per owner request.
My brief perusal online suggests that if ADSB was installed such to allow tracking, something must be going on at the level of the FAA and that I need to request tracking be allowed again.
http://fltplan.com/blocking_premium...quests must include,Tail Number to be blocked.
So I am considering trying to allow my plane to be tracked. I have some general privacy concerns but am really not important enough for the Elon Musk jet twitter guy to follow. I tend to not broadcast my schedule online after a friend had her house broken into while at work (she put her business ALL OVER facebook).
So my questions for you:
1. If I want to allow tracking on my plane I need to confirm installer settings allow this and then reach out to FAA?
2. What do most GA flyers use and why?
3. Anyone here use full or partial blocking?
4. Does blocking in anyway impair search and rescue?
Thanks.
