I am an aircraft owner based at Oban, and I am utterly dismayed at the council's decision to ban users from refuelling our aircraft with mogas. We agreed and adhered to refuelling guidelines set out a few years ago, when the airfield fuelling operator could no longer supply quality assured mogas.
This decision has come out of the blue, and with no consultation with the users. I'd love to know how the council intend ensuring that visiting aircraft are using only avgas? Will this be a requirement for PPR I wonder?
I am so fed up with all the arguments across the airfield, and this ludicrous ruling is the final straw. I am pretty sure I am going to sell my share of the aircraft - I do not have the energy for a fight and have lost any motivation for flying from Oban.
