Unleaded Avgas Airport Playbook Lands Before Final FAA Plan

# Colorado Pilots Association Member Brief

The FAA’s final transition plan to unleaded avgas remains pending, leaving airports and pilots operating in uncertainty while the federal process continues. The National Academies has released a practical Airport Cooperative Research Program guide to help individual airports manage the local implementation of unleaded fuel transitions, including fleet surveying, infrastructure evaluation, and staff training. Colorado airport operators should consult this guide while awaiting the FAA’s final plan, as airports will bear the primary responsibility for implementing this transition at the local level.
