FAA to Release Updated Unleaded Avgas Transition Roadmap
The FAA intends to release an updated transition timeline for phasing out 100LL in favor of unleaded aviation fuel. While the national target for eliminating lead emissions remains set for 2030, agency officials emphasized at AirVenture that safety will dictate the schedule rather than arbitrary deadlines. Federal mandates currently prohibit most obligated airports from banning 100LL sales until a certified replacement is locally available. For flight schools and aircraft owners, this upcoming reset clarifies exactly how and when they will need to adapt their operations for the new fuel landscape.
