Because as far as I know the engines must have their type acceptance updates to reflect it's allowed use.
3 years is also basically a second at the speeds GA changes at.
- Blackthorn 5y agoThe slow uptake has more to do with it just not being all that available.
- mlyle 5y agoYup-- why should an airfield bother with going to 94UL when it's more of a hassle (some planes can't take it, all planes need an STC). But if you taxed the crap out of lead-containing fuels, I suspect more would be interested...
- mlyle 5y agoYes, technically speaking. Swift charges $100 for a STC, and has coverage of two thirds of the GA fleet. Really, all that needs to happen is an airport needs to decide that lead free is important to them and they'll pay the premium for Swift's fuel.
