In the spring of 2023, Robinson fully tested G100UL Avgas. They wrote a report asserting that there were no differences in the performance of their R-44 as compared to 100LL.

I have conferred with several rotorcraft DERs and we are fairly confident that we can accomplish a field approval on any Robinson that is supporting emergency services.

Also, piston powered rotorcraft account for about 2% of of all piston powered airplanes.
