The UK CAA has released new consolidated advice for owners of light aircraft clarifying the options they have to choose which fuel they use, including the use of petrol from a garage if it is approved for their particular aircraft. The guidance is published as a <a href=’http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=1407&pageid=16578′ target=’_blank’>webpage</a>. The advice states that any type of fuel may be used in an aircraft providing it meets the specification set out in the aircraft’s approval documents and any operational limitations. The guidance also details the responsibilities of aircraft and airfield operators in storing fuel and ensuring it is of the correct specification.
The advice is the latest move from the CAA in its aim to be dedicated to effective regulation that supports and encourages a dynamic GA sector that imposes the minimum necessary burden and empowers individuals to make responsible decisions to secure acceptable safety outcomes.
