Where each aircraft sits on the lead-fuel transition
The FAA EAGLE programme and California UNL94 timeline are forcing real fleet decisions today. Use this rail to find aircraft with the right transition path for your fleet planning horizon.
Leaded only
100LL-burning airframes without a documented G100UL pathway today. Engine swap or fleet retirement plan needed for the lead-fuel transition.

Leaded only — needs G100UL or engine swap
G100UL eligible
100LL today but on Lycoming or Continental's compatibility path for G100UL via STC — a path off 100LL without engine swap once supply is regional.

Mogas / Jet-A diesel
Already on unleaded EN228 mogas (Rotax 912 family) or Jet-A piston diesel (Austro AE 300, Continental CD-155 / CD-170) — no transition risk.

About this directory
How is this aircraft directory built?
Each aircraft is one structured entry in the Aviatize directory covering specifications (POH-typical for the family's representative variant under standard conditions), variant history, type-club references, and known operator footprint. Numbers are illustrative reference figures, not POH-confirmed for the specific airframe a reader will fly — every detail page carries a 'reference data only' notice for that reason. Entries are cross-referenced against manufacturer pages, FAA / EASA TCDS, and type-club material; sources are listed on each detail page.
Why does the directory split fuel into two fields?
Aircraft burn fuel today (100LL, mogas, Jet-A diesel, or battery) and have a separate path off 100LL for the FAA EAGLE / California UNL94 transition. A 100LL-burning Cessna 172 is on Lycoming's G100UL compatibility path; a 100LL-burning Piper Tomahawk is not. Both questions matter to a flight-school owner planning fleet decisions, so the directory tracks them as independent axes.
Why is grading not in the schema?
Aviatize is a SaaS company, not a flight-test publication or aviation safety authority. We capture factual operating characteristics, regulatory positioning, production volume, and type-community references — but we do not publish quality ratings, accident-pattern narratives, or 'best for X' rankings. The reader interprets the facts; we don't grade what we haven't flown.
What's the next page I should look at?
If you're picking a primary trainer fleet, start with the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, Piper PA-28 Cherokee, or Diamond DA40 entries. If you're modernising for the unleaded fuel transition, look at the Tecnam P-Mentor, Pipistrel Velis Electro, and Diamond DA42 Twin Star. If you're building a multi-engine syllabus, see the Piper PA-44 Seminole, Diamond DA42 Twin Star, and Tecnam P2006T pages.
