FAA Database??

You can't get removed but you can request your name not be made public (download database, for example)

FAA -> Airmen website has a contact email and telephone number for details.

I don't think you can keep your name out of it, but you can keep your address out.
 
I'm sorry to say that "one" can't "go about getting their name removed from the FAA database." However, there is a method -- see Ron Levy's post -- by which one can "go about getting" his or her "name removed from the FAA database."

(Sorry; I guess there's another recent thread under which this could be included).

The devil made me do it; I'm cooling off after 2½ hours of chipping ice away from the 42 foot width of my hangar door which is on the north side of the hangar's building. It opened without problem; closing, however, was another matter because of the accumulated ice.

I believe that if you tell them you are dead, you will be removed from the airman data base. But, apparantly, a lot of people fail to notify the FAA of their death so there are more than a few dead pilots still listed.

As it says on the linked page, all you can do is get your address removed, not your name.

Well, as noted above, you can get your name removed by being reported dead, but that's not a good idea if you intend to continue flying, since that not only gets your name removed, but your certificates cancelled, so I don't think that's what the OP is looking for.

Isn't there a regulation that requires reporting death to the FAA...

Lemme guess, the standard sanction for non-reporting will be a 90-day suspension!
:ihih:

That might depend upon how many violations you have pending :) you won't be flying anyway, plus it will be easier to get the new certificate under the AKA.

Dunno what the "AKA" is, but I do know what 61.59 says about folks who make false reports to the FAA, and that tends to make it very hard to get another certificate later on.

Granddad is still listed.
 
Your link is unrevealing.

He is saying that if you want to re-apply after being re-incarnated as a member of the AKA tribe found in West and East Kameng, Arunachal Pradesh, India then you have to let the FAA know that you have left your previous incarnation.

I think.
 
Just a note that my original post in this thread: "I'm sorry to say that "one" can't "go about getting their name removed from the FAA database." However, there is a method -- see Ron Levy's post -- by which one can "go about getting" his or her "name removed from the FAA database."

In respect to Ron having clarified what can or cannot be removed, my observation was not concerning the why or how, but the structure of the OP's question.
"One"(singular) cannot be referenced with "their"(plural), only his or her(each of which is singular). And as previously noted, said example could be included in the recent thread relative to grammar and/or structured use.
(Slow day, but at 46° I didn't have to chip any more ice away from the bottom of my hangar's door.)
