IFR flight video Shoreham EGKA (UK) to Annecy LFLP (France) - TB20
- Thread starter peter-h
- Start date
A bit OT, but what's the UL91 situation in Europe? The FAA is about to grant fleet authorization for UL91 as discussed here:This shows a bit of IFR in Europe. Not that different from the US.

However, the stuff is quite rare here and that's causing a lot of confusion since many don't even know what it is.

Line Up and Wait
On the whole very rare.
In the Sweden area there is a bit of UL94 and UL96

But in many countries 100LL is quite rare e.g. Italy.
TOTAL tried to split the market here with 91UL, even giving away free bowsers, but failed because a) the price was almost the same and b) airports didn't want to halve their 100LL purchases and pay more and become uncompetitive (the GA business here is highly competitive on fuel costs and even food costs).
If - like most - you never leave your one country, then you may use 91UL all the time. But internationally it is rare.
My TB20 (IO540-C4D5D 8.5:1 CR) I can use 91UL or higher.
100UL (GAMI presumably) is keenly awaited.
