>> An alternative exists, but the FAA needs to certify it for each aircraft type.

They have. It's done. nobody needs to worry about liability for switching. Availability will be a short-term problem, and banning leaded fuel will get it fixed quickly.

They were talking about changing out engines for the planes, not the fuel.

Not relevant. You can change fuel with existing engines.

That’s why they don’t do engine changes, since it is easier, yes.

What was your point point exactly?
