Violators are subject to fines up to $25,000 per incident. Refer to the California Health and Safety Code [HSC §25100] for more details. INTRODUCTION According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data, there were approximately 140,000 active piston-powered General Aviation (GA) aircraft in the United States with over 12.9 million hours flown in 2014. Each of those aircraft rely on aviation gas (AvGas) to fuel their engines. AvGas is a highly flammable liquid containing organic lead and is a hazardous material. During the mandatory pre-flight safety inspection, pilots sample the fuel in the aircraft and inspect the fuel for contaminants.

  • Aviation Investigation Report A06q0157 Engine Failure
    AVIATION INVESTIGATION REPORT A06Q0157 ENGINE FAILURE CESSNA 172M C-FFRV MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC 10 SEPTEMBER 2006 The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) investigated this occurrence for the purpose of advancing transportation safety. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. Aviation Investigation Report Engine Failure Cessna 172M C-FFRV Montréal, Quebec 10 September 2006 Report Number A06Q0157 Summary A Cessna 172M, registration C-FFRV, serial number 17262394, with the pilot and two passengers on board, took off at 1545 eastern daylight time from Saint-Hubert Airport, Quebec, for a flight according to visual flight rules over Montréal, Quebec. About 15 minutes after take-off, when the aircraft was over the city, the engine (Lycoming O320-H2AD) lost power and stopped. The pilot tried to restart it, but without success. The pilot transmitted a distress message and quickly reported the situation to the control tower. The aircraft was approximately 1250 feet above ground level at the time. The pilot landed the aircraft on the northbound side of Parc Avenue, in Montréal. On landing, the left wing tip struck a traffic light post before the aircraft came to rest. The aircraft was substantially damaged, but there were no injuries. Ce rapport est également disponible en français. - 2 - Other Factual Information The pilot was certified and qualified for the flight in accordance with existing regulations. He had over 30 years of flying experience, including 22 years on this aircraft, and had about 5000 flying hours. The weather observation taken at 1600 eastern daylight time1 was as follows: visibility 9 statute miles, light winds and a few scattered clouds.

  • Comments of the General Aviation Avgas Coalition
    COMMENTS OF THE GENERAL AVIATION AVGAS COALITION ON THE ADVANCE NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING ON LEAD EMISSIONS FROM PISTON-ENGINE AIRCRAFT USING LEADED AVIATION GASOLINE EPA DOCKET NO. EPA–HQ–OAR–2007–0294 - 1 - I. INTRODUCTION On April 28, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) published in the Federal Register an “Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Lead Emissions from Piston- Engine Aircraft Using Leaded Aviation Gasoline” (the “ANPR”). 75 Fed. Reg. 22440. The General Aviation AvGas Coalition (the “Coalition”) respectfully submits the following comments on the ANPR. The Coalition is comprised of associations that represent industries, businesses, and individuals that would be directly impacted by any finding made by the EPA in regard to lead emissions from piston-engine aircraft, corresponding aircraft emissions standards, and related changes to the formulation of aviation gasoline. Coalition membership includes the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (“AOPA”), the Experimental Aircraft Association (“EAA”), the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (“GAMA”), the National Air Transportation Association (“NATA”), the National Business Aviation Association (“NBAA”), the American Petroleum Institute (“API”) and the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association (“NPRA”). Together, these organizations represent general aviation aircraft owners, operators, and manufacturers, and the producers, refiners, and distributors of aviation gasoline. 1 Since the establishment of the first National Ambient Air Quality Standard (“NAAQS”) for lead in 1978, the general aviation and petroleum industries have been committed to safely reducing lead emissions from piston powered aircraft. Today, 100 octane low lead (“100LL”) aviation gasoline (or “avgas”) contains 50 percent less lead than it did when the lead NAAQS were first introduced, dramatically reducing lead emissions from general aviation.
