Comments were submitted to the FAA
during the period the draft AC was
posted for public viewing on the FAA’s
Aviation Safety Draft Documents Open
for Comment Web site. The disposition
of these comments can be viewed at the
FAA’s Regulatory and Guidance library
Web site (https://rgl.faa.gov/

AC 20–
24C cancels AC 20–24B and describes
established methods of adding fuels and
oils as engine, aircraft, or APU operating
limitations. These established methods
reflect procedures and practices
employed by the Engine and Propeller
Directorate (EPD) for oversight of
successful aviation fuel and lubricating
oil certification projects conducted over
many years. These procedures and
practices have essentially relied on fuels
and oils grade or brand designations
that were identified by industry
voluntary consensus-based, military, or
other governmental standards.
A draft of this AC was made available
for public comment on September 1,
2010, for a period of 60 days. The FAA
received many comments regarding the
use of other, new and novel methods to
add fuels and oils as engine, aircraft, or
APU operating limitations in lieu of the
methods described in the AC. However,
the EPD cannot develop guidance
describing other, new and novel
methods until we gain sufficient
certification oversight experience with
these projects. Therefore, the final AC
does not contain guidance on these new
and novel methods to add fuels and oils
as engine aircraft, or APU operating
limitations.
