The efforts to remove lead from aviation gasoline has taken another step forward as a coalition of stakeholders have formally submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reaffirming their support for the removal of lead for avgas through what is described as a “safe and smart transition.”
The coalition is made up of seven aviation stakeholder organizations, and includes the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), the Helicopter Association International (HAI), the National Air Transportation Association (NATA), the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the American Petroleum Institute (API).
