COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
Aircraft - General
AD/GENERAL/62
Amdt 1
Turbo Insignia 5/87
Applicability: All piston engine powered aircraft.
Requirement: Remove or otherwise obliterate the word “turbo” from all exterior logos, decals, lettering or markings containing such words as “turbo”, “turbo-charged”, “turbo- supercharged”, “turbo-system”, “turbo-powered”, or similar.
Compliance: Prior to 1 July 1987.
Background: Removing reference to “turbo” should minimise any confusion in the type of fuel required for fuelling piston engined aircraft, and also reduce the possibility of turbine fuel being uplifted into aircraft requiring Avgas only. Airworthiness Advisory Circular article 163-4 refers. This amendment is raised to hasten compliance to aircraft of low utilisation.
