ELIMINATE AVIATION GASOLINE LEAD EMISSIONS INITIATIVE

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.

Will recent federal program terminations affect the EAGLE initiative?

No. Congress has reiterated a need for an orderly transition, and the FAA’s role in EAGLE remains unchanged. The program was just reauthorized in 2024, which, via section 827 directs the FAA to continue to partner with industry and other Federal government stakeholders in carrying out the mission of the industry-government initiative, EAGLE, and take such actions as may be necessary to facilitate safe and orderly transition to the unleaded fuel by the end of 2030 (2032 for Alaska).
