He isresponsible for a number of successful STCs for Bonanza, Baron,Cessna, and Cirrus aircraft. He has been involved in unleaded fuelresearch for 11 years and is responsible for the development ofG100UL unleaded high octane replacement for 100LL..He has been actively involved in developing a plan to transition toa new, unleaded avgas for piston-engine airplanes through theimplementation of the FAAs Unleaded Avgas Transition Aviation Rulemaking Committee (UAT-ARC) recommendations. Currently, there are no high-octane unleaded fuels that are approved bythe FAA for the entire GA fleet. Lower octane fuels, including auto fuel, are options for part of theGA fleet and have been approved by the FAA.George looked to the past before discussing the future by revisiting something Mike Kraft ofLycoming said last year at AirVenture, and that was that we’ve got to stop loving this problem andstart fixing it. The problem in question is finding a suitable alternative fuel for aviation.The FAA, industry, and the members of the General Aviation Avgas Coalition continue efforts towork on a permanent solution to eventually replace 100 low-lead gasoline for GA aircraft that willmeet the needs of the existing fleet.ANDREW KNOTTAndrew Knott is an experienced pilot, flight instructor, andaircraft owner with substantial experience in startups, marketing,technology and aviation.
