With the addition of G100UL, Santa Clara County now offers aircraft operators two choices in unleaded avgas: G100UL and UL94. UL94 is FAA-certified for use in approximately 68 per cent of piston-powered aircraft.
Commercialisation of FAA-approved unleaded avgas begins
September 5, 2022
NATA and NBAA have welcomed FAA issuance of STCs approving 100 octane unleaded avgas in all spark-ignition piston aircraft and engines. Distribution will be phased in gradually, with broader availability for 2024.
Together, GAMI and Avfuel will ensure G100UL avgas is available to all legitimate distributors and vendors on an equitable basis in terms of access and economics. Avfuel is to establish a supply chain to bring it to market.
