The concern was that ground crew might see the word and mistakenly think the aircraft had a turbocharged piston engine (rather than a turbine engine), potentially causing refuelling errors.\n\nHowever, the regulator later realised this rule was purely cosmetic—it didn't actually fix any unsafe mechanical condition. This 2007 instrument formally **cancels** the 1987 directive, meaning aircraft owners no longer need to remove or cover up \"turbo\" insignia.\n\n**Who this affects:** Aircraft owners and operators who were previously required to comply with the logo removal rule.\n\n**What this means:** You can now display \"turbo\" branding on your aircraft exterior without violating this particular rule."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-general-62-amdt-1-turbo-insignia-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-general-62-amdt-1-turbo-insignia-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-general-62-amdt-1-turbo-insignia-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-general-62-amdt-1-turbo-insignia-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-general-62-amdt-1-turbo-insignia-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-general-62-amdt-1-turbo-insignia-cancelled/documents"}}
