CASA treats them as if they still meet an approved standard, even though the rule that originally approved them is gone.\n- **Smooth transition:** This allows aviation safety regulations to move to a new framework without forcing immediate replacement of existing safety equipment.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Aircraft operators who carry life jackets as mandatory safety equipment\n- CASA (the regulator) in managing compliance transitions"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-13-repeal-order-2007","history":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-13-repeal-order-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-13-repeal-order-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-13-repeal-order-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-13-repeal-order-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-13-repeal-order-2007/documents"}}
