Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has been a growing part of business aviation for more than a decade. However, despite numerous industry efforts to spread understanding, awareness and use of SAF, there remain a few persistent myths about the fuel and its effects on aircraft powerplants that must be addressed. “These engines are built to perform with Jet-A and, for all intents and purposes, SAF is Jet-A,” notes Nate Dietsch, Netflix’s assistant aviation maintenance manager. “We have seen no problems thus far with our maintenance.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Nate Dietsch, assistant aviation maintenance manager, Netflix
- Charles Etter, staff scientist and technical fellow, Gulfstream Aerospace
- Frank Moesta, SVP for strategy and future programs, Rolls-Royce
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
