EAA just sent out an email about the unexpected FAA issuance of a new Airport Compliance Manual with NO prior public comment.

You can read the announcement here: http://www.eaa.org/news/2009/2009-10-15_rules.asp

Seems the FAA does not understand that mogas is an approved avgas because of the STC process.

"Autofuel was not recognized as an authorized aviation fuel, nor does it suggest that airports take actions to install self-service, ethanol-free premium grade autogas pumps to support the 100,000+ aircraft that use autogas as their primary, FAA-approved aviation fuel."

It is important that pilots provide comments to the FAA about the need for ethanol free mogas on public use airports.

Click on "Submit a comment" and tell the FAA that ethanol free unleaded auto gas is an approved avgas and we need it on our airports.
