EAGLE is a comprehensive government-industry initiative consisting of the aviation and petroleum industries and U.S. government stakeholders, and a wide range of other constituents and interested parties, all working to eliminate the use of leaded aviation fuels for piston-engine aircraft in the United States by the end of 2030 (2032 for Alaska) without adversely impacting the safe and efficient operation of the existing GA fleet.

Home » FAQs » Transparent Fleet

The segment of the existing fleet of engines and aircraft for which a new fuel is a drop-in is called the “transparent fleet.” Changes such as new or modified hardware, adjustments, or new operating procedures/limitations are not required for the aircraft and engines in the transparent fleet. Still, FAA approval may be required to enable operation under the existing operating limitations.
