As of January 2025, EAGLE is actively evaluating three potentially feasible alternatives/replacements for 100LL: GAMI G100UL, LyondellBasell/VP Racing UL100E, and Swift 100R. GAMI G100UL is the first unleaded, 100-octane aviation fuel to be offered to aircraft owners and operators directly, and the fuel began distribution to aircraft owners in November 2024. It is currently offered at 3 airports: KRHW (Reid-Hillview Airport of Santa Clara County, California), KWVI (Watsonville Municipal Airport, California), and KTUP (Tupelo Regional Airport, Mississippi).

Cirrus has been engaged in a comprehensive testing and evaluation program of the GAMI G100UL fuel for over a decade and has been monitoring field experience with GAMI G100UL since November 2024. While some aspects of the initial Cirrus testing of the GAMI G100UL fuel were encouraging, Cirrus has identified specific concerns regarding material compatibility. Lab testing in coordination with FAA representatives and on-aircraft field observations revealed seal degradation when in contact with GAMI G100UL fuel that has resulted in damage to airframe components and could create airworthiness concerns. We are actively engaged with a Cirrus owner who began using GAMI G100UL in November 2024 and has since observed paint degradation, seal degradation, and fuel leakage. Cirrus is working with the FAA and the aircraft owner to conduct further investigation and testing. There have also been reports of non-Cirrus aircraft owners observing similar paint and seal degradation and fuel leaks since using GAMI G100UL which have been posted in various online forums.

While Cirrus is committed to a safe and timely transition to unleaded aviation fuel, at this time Cirrus does not approve the use of GAMI G100UL fuel, or any unleaded fuel, in any Cirrus SR Series airplanes. Additionally, Cirrus currently does not warrant or represent in any way an operator’s use of the GAMI G100UL fuel in SR Series airplanes. The continued safe operation of all Cirrus aircraft around the world remains our top priority.

Cirrus is committed to working directly with industry associations and all stakeholders, including AOPA, GAMA, the FAA, and the EAGLE program, to support the transition to unleaded aviation fuels. Cirrus is dedicated to supporting all major fuel companies in their pursuit to bring alternative high-octane fuels to market with the continued goal of ensuring the operational safety of both the powerplant and airframe fuel systems. As fuels progress through the development and certification process and are offered to aircraft owners, we are committed to conducting materials compatibility, on-aircraft fuel performance testing, field observation, and testing of real-world usage of these fuels. We look forward to ensuring a safe and smooth transition to unleaded fuel for all Cirrus SR Series owners and support AOPA’s efforts to gather feedback regarding unleaded aviation fuel usage via their online survey.

Proper preparation is key to safe winter flying. Ensuring your Cirrus is ready for cold weather conditions will help you avoid unnecessary risks.

Preflight

Stay Ahead of Weather Conditions

Winter weather can be unpredictable, so always prepare your aircraft and flight plan with this in mind. Use tools like the Cirrus IQ app to monitor key aircraft readiness indicators, including fuel levels, oxygen supply and engine status to ensure your aircraft is ready Always carry extras such as TKS fluid and plan alternative routes to adapt to rapidly changing weather patterns.

Understanding Icing Risks and Systems

One of the most critical aspects of winter flying is understanding icing and how to manage it. Knowledge from Cirrus Approach courses, such as Icing Awareness, is essential for safe winter operations.

Anti-Ice vs. Deice Systems

Anti-Ice Systems: These systems, like TKS on many Cirrus aircraft, prevent ice from forming on critical surfaces. They should be activated before entering icing conditions.
Deice Systems: These systems remove accumulated ice. They are used after ice has already formed, breaking it away from surfaces like the propeller or wings.

Recognizing Ice Types

Clear Ice: Smooth and heavy, clear ice forms when supercooled water droplets freeze slowly. It’s particularly hazardous as it’s hard to detect and disrupts lift.
Rime Ice: Opaque and rough, rime ice forms quickly and is easier to spot but still degrades performance.

Review your aircraft’s de-icing and anti-icing procedures, and practice activating these systems during flight simulations or training sessions.

Conduct a Thorough Aircraft Inspection

Winter conditions can stress critical components of your aircraft.

Check Ice Protection Systems: Ensure your TKS anti-ice system is fully stocked and operational.
Monitor Tire Pressure and Oil: Cold temperatures can affect tire performance and engine oil.
Inspect Critical Surfaces: Remove all snow, frost, and ice from control surfaces, wings, and propellers.

Pack Cold-Weather Essentials

Equip your Cirrus with cowl plugs, canopy covers, and other protective accessories to prevent frost and wildlife intrusion. Additionally, carry a winter survival kit with extra blankets, clothing, and emergency supplies for unforeseen situations.

Inflight

Monitor Weather in Real Time

Stay informed with tools like XM Weather and Garmin avionics to track evolving weather patterns. If icing conditions develop, adjust your altitude or route to find safer conditions.

Use Ice Protection Systems Correctly

Activate anti-ice systems before entering known icing conditions. If ice accumulation begins, use your de-icing systems as per your aircraft’s operating handbook. Familiarize yourself with these systems during Cirrus training or simulation courses for added confidence.

Post-Flight

Clear and Protect the Aircraft

Remove any accumulated snow and ice immediately after landing to prevent structural or material damage. Use canopy covers and engine plugs to shield against frost and moisture intrusion.

Perform Regular Maintenance

Winter flying can strain aircraft components. Schedule periodic maintenance checks during the season to identify and resolve issues caused by freezing temperatures or adverse weather conditions.

Flight Training

Explore Cirrus Approach for In-Depth Training

Cirrus Approach courses provide pilots with valuable insights into winter flying challenges. The Icing Awareness Course is a must for understanding and handling icing conditions effectively. Training with these resources will build your confidence and enhance your safety skills.
