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 (http://rgl.faa.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
