If a hand portable fire extinguisher was already installed on an aircraft as part of its life-saving equipment before this Order took effect, that extinguisher must still meet the technical standards from the repealed Order. This ensures aircraft don't suddenly become non-compliant simply because the old rules were deleted.\n\n**Who this affects:** Aircraft owners, operators, and maintenance organisations responsible for fire safety equipment on aircraft.\n\n**Why it matters:** It removes outdated regulatory text while ensuring that existing fire extinguishers continue to meet recognised safety standards."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-16-repeal-order-2007","history":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-16-repeal-order-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-16-repeal-order-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-16-repeal-order-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-16-repeal-order-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/civil-aviation-order-103-16-repeal-order-2007/documents"}}
