• Provides Feedback on Suitability of Product for Use on Aircraft/Engines/APUs

• Necessary for FAA to Make a Determination that D1655 will Continue to Provide Airworthy Fuel

• Certification Basis is Maintained on All Aircraft/Engines

• Required for Proposed Alternative Fuel to Advance to ASTM Balloting OEM Review
