What does this do?
This bill requires the FAA to create a public education program about unleaded aviation gasoline within one year of becoming law. The program must post clear online information about approved fuels, aircraft compatibility, safety guidance, and available government incentives. The FAA must also partner with the aviation industry and fuel suppliers to offer annual hands-on training for people who handle fuel at small airports.
Who does it affect?
The program is aimed at people involved in general aviation, including pilots, flight instructors, aircraft owners, mechanics, airport managers, and fuel service providers. The FAA must periodically report to Congress on the program's progress, including data on unleaded versus leaded fuel sales.
Why does it matter?
Small aircraft have traditionally relied on leaded fuel known as 100LL, and this program is meant to help the people who work with that fuel understand their unleaded options. Without clear information and training, the transition to unleaded fuel could be slower or less safe.
