This project is based on the validation of cost savings when operating a general aviation aircraft, commonly powered by aviation gasoline engine comparing to others of the same model or category, powered by kerosene or Diesel fuel also showing the possibility of changing its original characteristics when near to an overhaul maintenance, with the alternative of replacing the engine, propeller and fuel system. The research is field, exploratory and applied with bibliographic, documentary procedure based on books, handouts, regulations, service manuals, service orders and practical experimentation. The approach was quantitative and qualitative. The information were obtained through operation manuals, documents and measured reports, all based on the theoretical foundation. The conclusion is that the use of conventional gasoline engines still shows benefits when thinking of its relatively low cost, ease of operation, maintenance shops, but it is inefficient due to the high consumption and gasoline price, on average, two times more expensive. In addition, there is a big difficulty to re certificate an aircraft with replacement of the power plant and proving the safety after a swap of this level.
