Colorado’s Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC) has begun offering unleaded avgas through Sheltair Aviation, becoming one of the latest airports in the state to add Swift Fuels UL94 as an alternative to 100LL.

Sales began in February with support from a state-backed initiative designed to help keep UL94 priced competitively while also reimbursing eligible aircraft owners for required supplemental type certificates. The move adds momentum to broader efforts aimed at reducing lead emissions from piston aircraft, particularly at busy general aviation airports like Rocky Mountain Metro, which has faced increased scrutiny from nearby communities over environmental and health concerns tied to leaded aviation fuel.

Aircraft fuel planning requires a careful balance between safety, efficiency, and operational flexibility. Carrying too little fuel increases risk, while excessive fuel adds weight, raises burn, and can limit payload. Operators must account for variables such as weather deviations, air traffic delays, alternate airport requirements, and company policies when determining appropriate fuel loads.

Advances in flight planning tools and data availability are helping crews make more informed decisions, enabling more precise fuel strategies that optimize both safety margins and efficiency without overcompensating.
