A California Superior Court judge recently ruled that GAMI’s unleaded avgas does not meet the legal definition of “commercially available,” meaning FBOs and distributors in the state are not required to stock or sell it, particularly not in place of 100LL.
The decision follows a motion by the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) seeking to enforce a 2014 consent judgment requiring fuel sellers to offer a lower-lead alternative when one becomes widely available. The FAA has required SpaceX to conduct an investigation of the Starship Flight 9 mission, which lasted significantly longer than the two previous flights but still resulted in the loss of the Ship upper stage vehicle after a propellant leak led to a loss of control and a controlled termination of the mission. Jordan Dwayne Jackson, 36, of Houston, Texas, was sentenced to 15 months in prison for pointing a laser at a Houston Police Department helicopter in 2021. U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal ordered that Jackson spend at least half that time in federal prison, and the other half can be served concurrently with his 18-year sentence for aggravated sexual assault for which he was convicted in July 2024.
