The FAA has released a draft implementation plan outlining how it intends to transition the general aviation fleet away from leaded 100LL avgas. The document focuses on supporting the approval and deployment of unleaded fuel alternatives, coordinating with industry and government stakeholders, and minimizing disruption to aircraft operators during the transition. The plan builds on the ongoing work of the EAGLE initiative and emphasizes safety, fleet compatibility, and infrastructure readiness. While the FAA does not mandate a specific fuel, it describes steps to accelerate testing, certification, and adoption of viable unleaded options while maintaining operational continuity across the national airport system.
