However, if an aircraft already had a life raft on board when this order took effect, that raft is 'grandfathered'—it remains legal under the old standards even though the rule itself has vanished.\n\n**Why this matters:**\nThis prevents aircraft from suddenly becoming non-compliant while transitioning to new safety standards. It's a housekeeping measure that removes outdated regulations without forcing immediate replacement of expensive safety equipment.\n\n**Key points:**\n*   **Old rule cancelled:** CAO 103.15 is completely repealed\n*   **Existing equipment protected:** Life rafts already installed stay valid under the old rules\n*   **Smooth transition:** The change was timed to coincide with related updates to other aviation orders"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-15-repeal-order-2007","history":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-15-repeal-order-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-15-repeal-order-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-15-repeal-order-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-15-repeal-order-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-15-repeal-order-2007/documents"}}
