UNLEADED Act

Key Points

• The FAA would create a new program to teach pilots and airport workers about unleaded fuel. This helps the aviation industry move away from leaded gasoline, which is still used in many small planes and can be harmful to the environment.
• A new website would track which unleaded fuels are safe for different engines and where people can buy them. It would also list any tax credits or government money available to help pilots and flight schools make the switch.
• Airport workers who handle fuel would get annual training. This ensures they know the differences between fuel types and how to handle them safely so they do not accidentally put the wrong gas in an airplane.
• The program would last until 2036. During that time, the FAA must give regular updates to Congress on how many people are using unleaded fuel compared to traditional leaded gas to see if the program is working.
