Our Committment to Sustainability

Our Switch to Unleaded Avgas
Back in August 2021, we made a pivotal change. San Carlos Flight Center switched all of its eligible aircraft to Swift Fuels UL94 unleaded Avgas, the day that it became available at our airport. We’re now the first flight school in the country to transition our fleet aircraft to a new, higher-octane unleaded Avgas: 100R. Why? To align with our commitment to sustainable aviation.

The Clear Advantage
Unleaded Avgas offers great performance and maintenance benefits, being a high octane fuel that reduces deposit buildup caused by traditional lead additives. On top of the efficiency benefits, UL94 and 100R eliminate lead emissions, promoting a brighter, more environmentally-friendly future of General Aviation.

Collaborative Efforts for Sustainable Skies
We’ve joined hands with Rabbit Aviation Services and the San Mateo County Airport Administration to promote UL94 unleaded Avgas from the moment it was available. Now, we’re pioneering the transition to the new 100R unleaded Avgas. We’re not just adapting to a new standard; we’re setting it.

Why We’re a Swift Fuels Ambassador
Our role as a Swift Fuels Ambassador reflects our active push to move the industry forward. As a Swift Fuels Ambassador, we’re championing the use of cleaner, more efficient fuel options for everyone in General Aviation.
