In the short-term, airports, Fixed-Base Operators (FBO), and airport users can take steps to reduce or minimize potential exposure to aircraft lead emissions:

• Work to offer additional unleaded fuel types to facilitate the transition.
  • A key enabling step may include installing additional fuel infrastructure, e.g., an additional tank or a fuel truck. Alternatively, airports may be able to utilize a spare tank.
• Minimize engine idling time and run-up times of piston-engine aircraft
• Promote airport and pilot awareness
• Increase distance between pre-flight/maintenance run-up locations and people on/off airports by relocating run-up locations or distributing run-ups to multiple locations.

These measures are summarized at a dedicated FAA webpage.
