California, with more pilots, flight schools, piston-engine aircraft, and airports than most states, plays a major role in U.S. aviation. While frustration is understandable given the slow progress toward alternative fuel standards tied to the FAA’s 2031 deadline, there’s also room to be hopeful. The state’s bold move to ban leaded avgas, despite the uncertainty surrounding new fuels, shows leadership in driving change. Yes, costs and delays are concerns, but the eventual transition could lead to cleaner, more efficient aviation. While G100UL is approved for all piston engines, some older aircraft may require adjustments—but this modernization could ultimately benefit the industry. It’s going to be an interesting ride, with the potential for long-term gains.

California has more pilots, flight schools, piston-engine aircraft and airports than most states, and plays an important role in the U.S. aviation industry. You are right. With the rapid development of the tourism industry, I have found that it is now being updated and modernized, which is a long-term industry benefit
