The following was issued by the leaders of the EAGLE\n(Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions) initiative following the June 2022\nstakeholder update:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To advance the common vision of completely eliminating the\nuse of lead in general aviation fuel, a comprehensive update was provided on\nJune 23 to all stakeholders and interested parties by leaders and working\ngroups of the industry\/government EAGLE initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EAGLE was developed with one clear goal: eliminate lead from\nall aviation fuel by 2030 without negatively impacting the safe and efficient\noperations of the current GA fleet. Stakeholders included a wide range of more\nthan 100 aviation associations, aircraft and fuel manufacturers, federal and\nlocal government bodies, airport officials, pilot groups, environmental\norganizations, and other related constituents. The meeting furthered the EAGLE\nobjective of bringing all parties together to discuss and rally around the shared\ngoal of an unleaded aviation future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EAGLE leaders and working groups outlined the progress being\nmade in a number of priority areas, including fuel testing, evaluation, and\nauthorization; research, development, and implementation; and regulatory and\npolicy activities. The group addressed a number of potential unleaded fuel\ncandidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis continues to be the biggest opportunity we have in\ngeneral aviation, but it\u2019s also vital that 100LL be available for those\naircraft that require the fuel to operate safely during a smart transition. While\nwe are working together to remove all lead from aviation fuel, this needs to be\ndone smartly and safely,\u201d said Mark Baker, president and CEO of AOPA, and EAGLE\nco-chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is going to take a sustained level of commitment to\ntackle the highly complex set of issues at play here. The spirit of partnership\nthat is key to EAGLE\u2019s success was evident during our discussions today, and I\nam excited to be a part of it,\u201d said Lirio Liu, executive director of FAA\u2019s\nAircraft Certification Service, and EAGLE co-chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the working groups continue their dedicated work on a\ndaily basis, the next EAGLE stakeholder update is being planned for fall 2022.\nPlans are also underway for an EAGLE leaders update during EAA\u2019s AirVenture in\nlate July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
