CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL

1.1. PREAMBLE

The CASR require that all equipment installed on an aircraft in compliance with the
Airworthiness Standards and the Operating Requirements must be operative. However, the
Requirements also permit the use of a Minimum Equipment List (MEL) where compliance
with certain equipment requirements in not necessary in the interests of safety under all
operating conditions.
Experience has shown that with the various level of redundancy designed into aircraft,
operation of every system or installed component may not be necessary when the remaining
operative equipment can provide an acceptable level of safety. The DGCA approved MEL
includes those items of equipment related to airworthiness and operating regulations and
other items of equipment which the administrator finds may be inoperative and yet maintain
unacceptable level of safety by appropriate conditions and limitation, it does not contain
obviously required items such as wings, flaps, rudders. The individual company’s MEL, when
approved and authorized, permits operation of the aircraft within inoperative equipment.
Equipment not required by the operation being conducted and equipment in excess of CASR
requirements are included in the MEL with appropriate condition and limitation.
The MEL must not deviate by the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) limitation, emergency
procedures or with Airworthiness Directive. It is importance to remember that all equipment
related to airworthiness and operating regulations of aircraft not listed on the MEL must be
operative.
Suitable conditions and limitations in the form of placard, maintenance procedures, crew
operating procedures and other restrictions as necessary are specified in the MEL to ensure
that an acceptable level of safety is maintained.
The MEL is intended to permit operation with inoperative items of equipment for a period of
time until repairs be accomplished at earliest opportunity.
In other to maintain an acceptable level of safety and reliability the MEL establishes
limitations on duration of and 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 reported by making an entry
in the aircraft maintenance record/log book as prescribe by CASR. The item is then either
repair or may be deferred per the MEL or other approved means acceptable to the
administration prior to further operation. MEL condition and limitation, do not relieve the
company from determining that the aircraft in condition for safe operation with items of
equipment in operative.
When these requirements are met, an Airworthiness Release, Aircraft Maintenance
Record/Log book entry, or other approved documentation is issued as prescribe by CASR.
Such documentation is required prior to operation with any item of equipment inoperative.
WHEN USING THE MEL, COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATED INTENT OF THE
PREAMBLE, DEFINITIONS AND THE CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN
THE MEL IS REQUIRED.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT ALL EQUIPMENT RELATED TO THE
AIRWORTHINESS AND THE OPERATING REQUIREMENTS OF THE AIRCRAFT
NOT LISTED IN THE MEL MUST BE OPERATIVE FOR EACH FLIGHT

CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL

1.2. MEL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The following Policy and Procedures will be adhered to by Tri M.G in the use of this Minimum
Equipment List, (MEL):
1. It is the Pilot-in-Command's responsibility to become thoroughly familiar with the policy
and procedures concerning the use of the MEL.
2. All items related to the airworthiness of the aircraft and not included on the MEL are
required to be fully and properly operative.
3. If an inoperative item requires a maintenance procedure, that procedure must be
accomplished and recorded prior to flight.
4 When the discrepancy is corrected, the maintenance person performing the maintenance
will record it in the applicable aircraft maintenance records.
5. Inoperative items allowed by the MEL must be repaired, or inspected and deferred, by
qualified maintenance personnel at the next required inspection. If the inspection is
progressive or continuous, the discrepancy must be corrected whether or not the
discrepancy is on a part or system required to be inspected as part of that particular
inspection segment.
6. An item, which is inoperative, but required by special flight conditions, will be repaired
before operating in those conditions.
7. The Pilot-in-Command will ensure that all discrepancies are recorded in the Aircraft
Discrepancy Log Sheet.
8. The portion of the record containing the discrepancy records must be on board the aircraft
during operation so that the Pilot-in-Command may be aware of any inoperative
instruments or equipment.
9. Procedures outlined, such as pulling and tie-wrapping circuit breakers may be performed
by a Flight Crewmember, however if the procedure requires specialized tools, training or
appropriate licenses, it must be performed by a qualified individual.

CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL

1.3. GENERAL

By authorization of the Minimum Equipment List (MEL), the DGCA of Indonesia permits
dispatch of the aircraft for revenue and training flights with certain items or components
inoperative provided an acceptable level of safety is maintained by appropriate operation, by
a transfer of function to another operating component, or by reference to other instruments
providing the required information.

Notes:
The provisions of the MEL are applicable until the aircraft commences the flight. The moment
the aircraft starts its takeoff roll, it is usually considered that the flight has commenced. This
means that MEL does not apply.
However, the decision to fly is left to the PIC who may decide operational or even economical
reason to repair the aircraft at the departure airport.

1.4. CONTENTS

The contents of this manual are divided into three parts:


(1) Introduction
Contains the control page and general information on the manual
(2) Definitions
Contain the definitions applicable to this Minimum Equipment List
(3) Minimum Equipment List
Contains the DGCA approved list of equipment, which may be inoperative for aircraft
dispatch and/or clearly specified NO GO items if necessary. This part include guidelines
for (O) and (M) Procedures
a. Operational Procedures
Task mark (O) in column 4 identifies as operational procedure when operating with
the associated inoperative item. Operational procedures may require crew actions,
limitations, performance penalties or crew awareness information to be taken into
account.
These procedures are normally carried out by qualified flight or cabin crew, but may
be accomplished by other qualified, approved personnel. However the flight crew
must always be informed of the applicable operational procedure prior to each flight
under associated MMEL item.
When flight situation occurs the operational procedures must always be applied under
the associated item (unless its periodicity of application is clearly specified in Column
4)

b. Maintenance procedures
Task mark (M) in column 4 identifies as maintenance procedures. These procedures
are normally carried out by maintenance personnel, but some elementary
maintenance tasks may be accomplished by crew members or other qualified,
approved personnel. Flight crew can accomplish some of these elementary (M)
procedures but it remains the responsibility of the operator and under its national
authority approval.
However it is recommended that maintenance personnel accomplish procedures that
require specialized knowledge, skills, or the use of tools and test equipment. The
maintenance procedures must always be performed one time before the flight under
the associated item and, if applicable, must be repeated at the interval specified in the
Column 4

1.5. CRITERIA FOR DISPATCH

The PIC of an aircraft is directly responsible, and the final authority for, the operation of that
aircraft, as well assure that the inoperative equipment is allowed as in MEL.
Before dispatching an aircraft with multiple MEL items inoperative, it shall be checked that
any interface or interrelationship between inoperative items will not result in degradation in
the level of safety and/or an undue increase in crew workload. It is particularly in this area of
multiple discrepancies and especially discrepancies in related systems that good judgment,
based on the circumstances of the case including climatic and route conditions must be used.

1.7. MAINTENANCE ACTION

The MEL is intended to permit operation with equipment inoperative for that period necessary
to organize repairs.
The MEL definitely is not intended as a tool for prolonged or even permanent operation of
aircraft in a configuration deviating from certification status.
Therefore, every effort shall be made by maintenance to correct all Maintenance irregularities
as early as practicable and that the aircraft is released from maintenance base in fully
operation condition so that the effected aircraft can be returned to its certification status. In
order to maintain this level, the MEL establishes limitations on the duration of operation with
operative equipment (see DEFINITIONS, “Repair Interval Categories”, and REPAIR
INTERVAL OVERRUN).
The decision of the PIC to comply with the appropriate MEL requirement and to postpone
maintenance activity will supersede any other intention. The PIC shall be informed by
maintenance as soon as practicable, should it be impossible to repair inoperative equipment
prior to departure.
Whenever an aircraft is released by maintenance for dispatch with equipment inoperative, the
following is required:
The Aircraft Flight & Maintenance Log (AFML) aboard the aircraft shall contain a detailed
description of the inoperative equipment including the repair interval category from the MEL,
the MEL reference (e.g. “21-1”), the time of AFML sign-off, special advice to the flight crew,
and if necessary, information about corrective action taken.
When the aircraft is released with any inoperative equipment that specified in the MEL, the
following statement shall be included in the Aircraft Fliht & Maintenance Log and signed by
the Engineer: “This aircraft is released as per MEL Chapter (insert ATA and Subchapter),
Category (Insert Category of MEL), Maintenance procedure (if applicable) has been
performed and Inoperative item has been placarded
When they are accessible to the crew in flight, the control(s) and/or indicator(s) related to
inoperative equipment shall be clearly placarded.
If inadvertent operation could produce a hazard, such equipment shall be rendered
inoperative (physically) as given in the appropriate Maintenance Procedure.

14. “CASR” means the applicable portions of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulation.

15. Inoperative component of an inoperative system Inoperative items, which is inoperative, are
usually considered components directly associated with and having no other function than so
support that system. (Warning/caution systems associated with the inoperative system must
be operative unless relief is specifically authorized per the MMEL).

16. ‘Deactivated’ and ‘Secured’ means that the specified component must be put into and
acceptable condition for safe flight. The operator will establish an acceptable method of
securing or deactivating.

17. “Visual Flight Rules” (VFR) is as defined CASR. This precludes a pilot from filing 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 from that
can be seen in natural or artificial light-, for example, clouds, fog, rain, sleet, hail, or snow.

20. “Repair Intervals” All users of an MEL must effect repairs on inoperative system or
components, deferred in accordance with the MEL, at or prior to the repair times established
by the following letters designators:
a. Category A. items in this category shall be repaired within the time interval specified in the
remarks column of the MMEL, excluding the day of discovery.
b. 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/log book. For example: if it were recorded at 10 a.m. on January 26,
the three days interval would begin at midnight the 29th.
c. Category C. Items in this category shall be repaired within ten (10) consecutive calendar
days (240 hours), excluding the day malfunction was recorded in the maintenance
record/log book. For example, if it were recorded at 10 a.m. on January 26th , and end at
the midnight February 5.

21. “Considered Inoperative”, as used in the provisos means that item must be treated for
dispatch, taxi and flight purposes as though it were inoperative. The item shall not be used or
operated until the original deferred item is repaired. Additional actions include: documenting
the item on the dispatch release (if applicable), placarding, and complying with all remarks,
exceptions, and related MMEL provisions, including any (M) and (O) procedures and
observing the repair category.

22. “Is not used” in the provisos, remarks or exceptions for an MMEL item may specify that
another item relieved in the MMEL “is not used.” In such cases, crewmembers should not
activate, actuate, or otherwise utilize that component or system under normal operations. It
is not necessary for the operators to accomplish the (M) procedures associated with the item.
However, operational requirements must be complied with, and an additional placard must be
affixed, to the extent practical, adjacent to the control or indicator for the item that is not used
to inform crewmembers that a component or system is not to be used under normal
