  • The Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority supports the transition by offering incentives, up to $110, for aircraft owners to obtain supplemental type certificates for 94UL use.
  • This collaborative effort with FBOs and flight schools aligns with the FAA's EAGLE program, which targets a nationwide transition to unleaded avgas by 2030.
