PREAMBLE
PREAMBLE
The following is applicable for authorized certificate holders operating under Civil
Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) part 91.
The CASR require that all equipment installed on an aircraft in compliance with the
airworthiness standards and the operating rules must be operative. However, the
rules also permit the publication of a Minimum Equipment List (MEL) where
compliance with certain equipment requirements is not necessary in the interests of
safely under all operating conditions.
Experience has shown that with the various levels of redundancy designed into
aircraft operation every system all installed component may not be necessary when
the remaining operative equipment can provide unacceptable level of safety.
The approved MMEL includes those item of equipment related to airworthiness and
operating regulation, and other items of equipments which the administrator finds
may be inoperative and yet maintain an acceptable level of safety by appropriate
conditions and limitations;
It does not contain obviously required items such as wings, flaps and rudder the
MMEL is the basis for development of individual operator MEL's which take into
consideration the operator's particular aircraft equipment configuration and
operational conditions. Operator MEL's, for administrative control, may include items
not contained in the MMEL; however, relief for administrative control items must be
approved by the DGCA. An Operator's MEL may differ in format from the MMEL, but
cannot be less restrictive than the MMEL. In the individual operator's MEL when
approved and authorized, permits operation of the aircraft with in operative
equipment suitable conditions and limitations in the form of placards, maintenance
PREAMBLE
procedures, crew operating procedures and other restrictions as necessary are

specified in the MEL to ensure than an acceptable level of safety is maintained.
The MEL is intended to permit operation with inoperative items of equipment for
period of time until repairs can be accomplished. It is important that repairs be
accomplished at earliest opportunity. In other to maintain an acceptable level of
safely reliability the MMEL establishes limitations on the duration of end conditions
for operation with inoperative equipment. The MEL provides for release of the
aircraft for flight with inoperative equipment. When an item of equipment is
discovered to be inoperative, it is reporting by making an entry in the aircraft
maintenance record/logbook as prescribed by CASR. The item is then either repaired
or may be deferred per the MEL or other approved means acceptable to the DGCA
prior to further operation MEL condition and limitation do not relieve the operator
from determining that the aircraft is in condition for safe operation with item all
equipment inoperative.
When these requirements are met, an Airworthiness release, Aircraft Maintenance

Record/Logbook, or other approved documentation is issued as prescribed by CASR.
Such documentation is required prior to operation with any item of equipment
inoperative.
Operators are responsible for exercising the necessary operational control to ensure
that an acceptable level of safety is maintained. When operating with multiple
inoperative items, the interrelationships between those items and effect on aircraft
operation and crew workload will be considered.
Operators are to establish a controlled and sound repair program including the parts,
personnel, facilities, procedures and schedules to ensure timely repair.

PREAMBLE
When using the MEL. Compliance with the State intent of the preamble, definitions,
and the conditions and limitations specified in the MEL is required.
DEFINITION
1. System Definitions.
System numbers are based on the Air Transport Association (ATA) Specification
Number 100 and items are numbered sequentially.
a. "Item" (Column!) means the equipment, system component, or function

listed in the
"Item" column.
b. "Category" (Column 2) means the time interval for repairs / replacement,
c. "Number Installed" (Column 3) is the number (quantity) of item normally
installed in the aircraft. This number represents the aircraft configuration
considered in developing this MMEL. Should the number be a variable (e.g.,
passenger cabin items) a number is not required.
NOTE: where the MMEL shows a variable number installed, the MEL must
reflect the actual number installed or an alternate means of configuration
control approved by the DGCA.
d. "Number Required for Dispatch" (Column 4) is the minimum number

(quantity) of items required for the operation provided the conditions
specified in Column 5.

PREAMBLE
NOTE: where the MMEL shows a variable number required, the MEL must
reflect the actual number required or an alternate means of configuration
control approved by the DGCA.
e. "Remarks or Exception" (Column 5) in this column includes a statement

either prohibiting or permitting operation with a specific number of items
inoperative, provisos (condition and limitation) for such operation, and
appropriate notes.
f. A vertical bar (change bar) in the margin indicates a change, addition or

deletion in the adjacent text for the current revision of that page only. The
change bar is dropped at the next revision of that page.
2. "Airplane Flight Manual" (AFM) is the document required for type certification
and approved by the responsible DGCA Aircraft Certification Office. The DGCA
approved AFM for; the specific aircraft is listed on the applicable Type
Certificate Date Sheet.
3. "As required by CASR" means that the listed item is subject to certain provisions
(restrictive or permissive) expressed in the Civil Aviation Safety Regulation
operating. When the listed item is not required by CASR it may be inoperative
for time specified by repair category.
4. Each inoperative item must be placarded to inform and remind the

crewmembers and maintenance personnel of the equipment conditions.
NOTE: To extent practical, placard should be located adjacent to the control or

indicator for the item affected; however, unless otherwise specified, placard wording
and location will be determined.

PREAMBLE
5. "-" symbol in Column 2 and/or Column 3 indicate a variable number (quantity)

of the item installed.
NOTE: where the MMEL shows a variable number installed, the MEL must reflect the
actual number installed or an alternate means of configuration control approved by
the Administrator.
6. "Deleted" in the remarks column after sequence item indicates that the item
was previously listed but is now required to be inoperative if installed in the
aircraft.
7. "ER" refers to extended range operations of a two-engine airplane which has a

type design for ER operations and complies with the provisions of Advisory
Circular 120-42.
8. "Flight Day" means 24 hours period (from midnight to midnight) either

Universal Coordinated Time (UCT) or local time, as established by the operator,
during which at least one Flight is initiated for the affected aircraft.
9. "Icing Condition" means an atmospheric environment that may cause to form

on the aircraft or in the engine(s).
10. Alphabetical symbol in Column 4 indicates a proviso (Condition or Limitation)

that must be complied with for operation with the listed item inoperative.
11. "Inoperative" means a system and/or component malfunction to the extent that
it does not accomplish its intended purpose and/or is not consistently
functioning normally within its approved operating limit(s) or tolerance(s).

PREAMBLE
12. "Notes:" in Column 5 provides additional information for crewmember or

maintenance consideration. Notes are used to identify applicable material which
is intended to assist with compliance, but do not relieve the operator of the
responsibility for compliance with all applicable requirements. Notes are not a
part of the provisos.
13. Inoperative components of an inoperative system:

Inoperative items which are components of a system which is inoperative are
usually considered components directly associated with and having no other
function than to support that system (warning/caution system associated relief
is specifically authorized per the MEL).
14. "(M)" symbol indicates a requirement for a specific maintenance procedure

which with must be accomplished prior to operation with the listed item
inoperative. Normally these procedures are accomplished by maintenance
personnel; however, other personnel may be qualified and authorized to
perform certain function. Procedures requiring specialized knowledge or skill, or
requiring the use of tools or test equipment should be accomplished by
maintenance personnel.
15. "(0)" symbol indicates a requirement for a specific operations procedures which
must be accomplished in planning for and/for operating with the listed item
inoperative. Normally these procedures are accomplished by the flight crew;
however, other personnel may be qualified and authorized to perform certain
function. The satisfactory accomplishment of all procedures, regardless of who
performs them, is the responsibility of the operator. Appropriate procedures are
required to be published as part of the operator's manual or MEL.

PREAMBLE
NOTE: The (M) and (O) symbols are required in the operator's MEL unless
otherwise authorized by the DGCA.
16. "Deactivated" and "Secured" means that the specified component must be put
into an acceptable condition for safe flight. An acceptable method of securing
or deactivating will be established by the operator.
17. "Visual Flight Rules" (VFR) is as defined in CASR Part 91. This precludes a pilot
from filling an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight plan.
18. "Visual Meteorological Conditions" (VMC) means the atmospheric environment

is such that would allow a flight to proceed under the visual flight rules
applicable to the flight. This does not preclude operating under Instrument
Flight Rules.
19. "Visible Moisture" means an atmospheric environment containing water in any

form that can be seen in natural or artificial light; for example, clouds, fog, rain,
sleet, hail, or snow.
20. "Passenger Convenience Items" means those items related to passenger

convenience, comfort or entertainment such as, but not limited to, galley
equipment, movie equipment, ash trays, stereo equipment, overhead reading
lamps, etc.
21. Repair Intervals; All users of an MEL approved under CASR 91 must effect
repairs of inoperative systems or components, deferred in accordance with the
MEL, at or prior to the repair times established by the following letter
designators:

PREAMBLE
Category A, Items in this category shall be repaired within the time interval
specified in the remarks column of the operator's approved MEL.
Category B, Items in this category shall be repaired within three (3)

consecutive calendar days (72 hours), excluding the day the malfunction was
recorded in the aircraft maintenance record/logbook. For example, if it were
recorded at 10 a.m. on January 26 lh, the three day interval would begin at midnight
the 26th and end at midnight 29th.
Category C, Items in this category shall be repaired within ten (10)

consecutive calendar days (240 hours), excluding the day the malfunction was
recorded in the aircraft maintenance record/logbook. For example, if it were

the 26"' and end at midnight February 5th.
Category D, Items in this category shall be repaired within one hundred

and twenty (120) consecutive calendar days (2880 hours), excluding the day the
malfunction was recorded in the aircraft maintenance log and/or record.
22. Engine Indicating Crew Alerting System (EICAS), Electronic Centralized Aircraft
Monitoring System (ECAM) or similar systems that provide electronic massages
refer to a system capable of providing different priority levels of system
information messages (e.g., Warning, Caution, Advisory Status and
Maintenance). Any airplane discrepancy message level (e.g. Advisory Status) or
higher.

PREAMBLE
The satisfactory accomplishment of all maintenance procedures, regardless of

who performs them, is the responsibility of the operator. Appropriate
procedures are required to be published as part of the operator's manual or
MEL.
23. "Administrative Control Item" means an item listed by the operator in the MEL
for tracking and informational purposes. It may be added to an operator's MEL
by approval of the Principal Operations Inspector provided no relief is granted,
or provided conditions and limitations are contained in an approved document,
(i.e. Structural Repair Manual, airworthiness directive, etc). If relief other than
that granted by an approved document is sought for an administrative control
item, a request must be submitted to the administrator. If the request results in
review and approval, the items becomes an MMEL item rather than an
administrative control item.
24. "***" symbol in column 1 indicates an item which is not required by regulation
but which may have been installed on some models of aircraft covered by this
MMEL. This item may be included on the operator's MEL after the approving
office has determined that the items has been installed on one or more of the
operator's aircraft. The symbol, however, shall no; be carried forward into the
operator's MEL. It should be noted that neither this policy nor the use of this
symbol provide authority to install or remove an item from an aircraft.
