New ACRP Unleaded Avgas Transition Publications Available
The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), which is part of the National Academies of Science’s Transportation Research Board, has just released two new publications addressing the aviation industry’s transition to unleaded aviation gasoline (avgas) that will be of interest to Colorado’s aviation community, as they continue to lead the way nationally in this transition. Both publications can be downloaded for free at the hyperlinks below:
Research Report 284, Transitioning to Unleaded Aviation Gasoline: A Guide and Tools, summarizes the general steps and best practices that airports can follow when seeking to supply unleaded aviation gasoline. The report also highlights important sources of information to assist with planning and implementing an airport’s transition to unleaded aviation fuel.
Publication 29409, Understanding the Transition to Unleaded Aviation Gasoline: A Primer, provides airports with concise information about the transition to unleaded aviation gasoline, based on the latest information available at the time of its preparation. For more resources and information about how the Colorado Division of Aeronautics is facilitating and supporting the transition to unleaded avgas in Colorado, please visit their unleaded avgas implementation webpage.
