INTRODUCTION
Foreword
An aircraft is certified with all its equipment operative. Therefore, it is possible to operate the aircraft with
some of its equipment inoperative, or some missing or damaged structural elements for a limited time:
• In accordance with air laws
• Without any risk for flight safety
• Under some restrictions

Minimum Equipment List

The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) defines the equipment that can be inoperative while operating the
aircraft. The MEL defines also under which conditions the technical tolerance can be admitted and gives, if
necessary, the specific procedures to apply.

Important Remarks
• All equipment required and necessary for the flight are not mentioned in the MEL. Equipment
not mentioned is considered as mandatory for the flight. If such equipment is inoperative,
terminate flight preparation (NO GO).
• The MEL is used while the aircraft is at the parking stand, before taxiing.
• If a failure occurs while taxiing the aircraft, use the appropriate abnormal or emergency check
list first. Using the MEL in this case can be helpful to know if the flight is still possible or not and
if the failure has consequences on limitations and performances.
• If a failure occurs in flight, use the appropriate abnormal or emergency check list first. Using the
MEL in this case can be helpful to evaluate the situation and decide how to continue or abort the
flight (e.g. choice of diverting airfield).

Tables
The MEL consists of tables organised as follows:
 Column 1
Column 1 includes depiction and identification of the inoperative equipment or system. The ATA100
relative chapter is also shown in this column. It provides also information about the Repair Interval
Categories.
 Column 2
The number of installed equipment or system is indicated in column 2.
 Column 3
The minimum number of equipment required for the flight is indicated in column 3.
 Column 4
Column 4 gives remarks and/or conditions that make the flight possible with the inoperative system or
equipment. In this column, the mention NO GO indicates the flight is not possible.

INOP Signifies that a INOP label must be placed on the inoperative instrument, lever or
indicating light.

The mention (P) or (T) indicates that the pilot (P) or the technician (T) has to perform a specific operational
procedure.

Repair Interval Categories

The maximum time a flight training device may be operated between the deferral of an inoperative item
and its repair will be specified in the MEL. The categories are the following:

Category A
Items in this category shall be repaired within the time interval specified in the “Remarks and Exceptions”
column of the operator's approved MEL. Whenever the proviso in the “Remarks or Exceptions” column
states cycles or flight time, the time interval begins with the next flight. Whenever the time interval is listed
as flight days, the time interval begins on the flight day following the day of discovery.

Category B
Items in this category shall be repaired within three consecutive calendar days, excluding the day of
discovery

Category C
Items in this category shall be repaired within 10 consecutive calendar days, excluding the day of
discovery.

Category D
Items in this category shall be repaired within 120 consecutive calendar days, excluding the day of
discovery.

Kinds of Operation

The MMEL covers all the types of operation for which the aircraft type or model is certified.
