I am interested in using unleaded fuel in my airplane and providing my operational experience in response to the FAA SAIB to collect data, but unleaded fuel is not locally available. What is the current timeline for fuel availability, and are we on track?

We are currently in phase one of the four-phase transition plan, focusing on fuel approvals and authorizations, as well as deployment to and use of new unleaded fuel(s) by early adopters. Broader availability is expected as we move into phase two, currently targeted for mid to late 2027, when we anticipate increased access and opportunities. We remain committed to data-driven decisions and will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
