SAIB HQ-16-05, grade UL94 fuel, issued today (Nov 10th, 2015)
What does this mean???
This was just issued today. Does it mean that they finally approved a 100LL substitute?

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB ) advises aircraft operators, fixed base
operators, FAA repair stations, Flight Standards District Offices, and Foreign Civil Aviation
Authorities, that grade UL94 aviation gasoline (avgas), that meets the American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM) International fuel specification D7547, is acceptable for use on aircraft and
engines certificated for operation with grade UL94 avgas that meets ASTM International fuel
specification D7592.
This SAIB also advises that specification D7547 grade UL94 avgas meets or exceeds all of the
performance requirements of grade UL91 avgas, which is also specified in D7547. As a result,
specification D7547 grade UL94 avgas meets the approved operating limitations for aircraft and
engines certificated to operate with D7547 grade UL91 avgas.
