Go for 1st appeal u/s 19(1), praying FAA to disclose your information partially under severability (sec10).

AND/OR
If you have serious allegation of corruption, which involves larger public interest, you may pray for whole part of the information including 'file notings'.

The address of FAA must have been given by the PIO u/s 7(3)(b), in his reply itself.
