FAA: Unleaded Fuel Service Difficulty Reporting

This is an AI generated Podcast
The FAA issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) in March 2025 regarding unleaded fuel use in piston-engine aircraft. This bulletin informs aviation stakeholders about a voluntary reporting system for any service difficulties or maintenance issues encountered when using unleaded fuel as an alternative to other fuels. The FAA initiated the EAGLE initiative in 2022 to transition to lead-free aviation gasoline and seeks data to understand the impacts of unleaded fuel on the existing fleet. While no unsafe condition warranting mandatory action has been identified, the FAA encourages detailed reports, including aircraft and engine information, fuel specifics, and issue descriptions, to aid in effective safety oversight during this transition.

The FAA also outlines new performance-based airworthiness standards for these aircraft, focusing on safety enhancements and increased capabilities, and introduces noise certification requirements for aircraft not conforming to a type certificate. Furthermore, the rule addresses experimental aircraft, including codifying operating limitations for space support vehicle flights and revising rules for market surveys and operations over populated areas.
