Is it illegal to track a private jet?

No, tracking private planes is not illegal. In most cases, the only requirement is that the aircraft has a transponder that emits a signal that can be picked up by ground-based receivers. This doesn't infringe on the privacy of the people onboard the aircraft, as they are not being tracked by their personal data.
