| San Carlos Flight Center was proud to work with Rabbit Aviation to be the first flight school in California to have aircraft running on unleaded fuel in its fleet. California and the SF Bay Area are often the leaders on environmental issues, and aviation fuel should be no different. Join us to find out about the next step in the quest to remove lead from aviation fuel.
We have invited Dan DeMeo, owner of Rabbit Aviation, to share a significant update on unleaded fuel. Dan will discuss the transition from UL94 to 100R. With the recent expansion of the Swift Fuels STC, 1,200 piston engine models and 1,600 aircraft are now eligible to use 100R. This major milestone is the trigger to move fully forward with 100R as the standard unleaded fuel at San Carlos Airport. If you are an airplane owner or a pilot that flies planes at one of the San Carlos flight schools, you will want to attend to be informed about this exciting transition. In addition, Alessandro Franco, owner of San Carlos Flight Center, will discuss the process of how to validate your airplane can safely run on 100R and the steps to obtain the Swift Fuels STC. This seminar will be held in-person at SCFC, attendance is free and open to all. Web Members will still be able to view the seminar online. Interested in watching more of our safety seminars?
