SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
PS-AIR-20-2000-DRAFT describes the Fleet Authorization process to
allow eligible aircraft and aircraft engines to operate using qualified
unleaded aviation gasoline (avgas). The use of unleaded avgas in
aircraft has been addressed by Congress in section 565, Aviation Fuel,
of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, (Pub. L. 115-254). Section 565
includes language that requires the FAA to adopt a process, other than
the traditional means of certification, to authorize the use of
unleaded avgas in aircraft and aircraft engines. This policy statement
defines that process.
Comments Invited
The FAA invites public comments on the draft policy statement
concerning the proposed Fleet Authorization process for enabling the
use of unleaded aviation gasoline in piston engine aircraft. The FAA
will consider the public comments submitted during this comment period
through the FAA's Aviation Safety Draft Documents website in finalizing
PS-AIR-20-2000-DRAFT.
Issued in Washington, DC, on September 29, 2022.
Bruce E. DeCleene,
Deputy Director, Policy and Innovation Division, Aircraft Certification
Service.
