DEFINITIONS
1. ‘Airplane/Rotorcraft Flight Manual’ (AFM/RFM) means the document required for type
certification and approved by the Agency. The AFM/RFM for the specific aircraft is listed on
the applicable Type Certificate Data Sheet.

2. ‘Alternate procedures are established and used’ or similar statement, means that alternate
procedures (if applicable), to the affected process, must be drawn up by the operator as part
of the MEL approval process, so that they have been established before the MEL document
has been approved. Such alternate procedures are normally included in the associated
operations (O) procedure.

3. ‘Any in excess of those required by regulations’ means that the listed item is required by
applicable legislation (e.g. Part OPS, Single European Sky legislation or the applicable
airspace requirements) must be operative and only excess items may be inoperative. When
the item is not required, it may be inoperative for the time specified by its rectification interval
category. Whenever this condition is used in the MMEL, the applicable regulations for the
intended flight routes and the resulting dispatch restrictions need to be clarified at the
operator’s MEL level.

4. ‘As required by (operational) regulations’ means that the listed item of equipment is subject
to certain provisions (restrictive or permissive) expressed in the applicable legislation (e.g.
regulation Air Operations, Single European Sky legislation or the applicable airspace
requirements). When the equipment is not required, it may be inoperative for the time
specified by its rectification interval category.

5. ‘Calendar Day’ means a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight based on either UTC or local
time, as selected by the operator. All calendar days are considered to run consecutively.

6. ‘Combustible Material’ means the material which is capable of catching fire and burning. In
 particular: if a MEL item prohibits loading of combustible (or flammable or inflammable)
material, no material may be loaded except the following:

1) Cargo handling equipment (unloaded, empty or with ballast);

2) Fly away kits (excluding e.g. cans of hydraulic fluid, cleaning solvents, batteries,
capacitors, chemical generators, etc.); Note: If serviceable tires are included, they
should only be inflated to a minimum pressure that preserves their serviceability; and

3) Inflight service material (return catering — only closed catering trolleys/boxes, no

newspapers, no alcohol or duty free goods).

7. ‘Commencement of flight’ is the point when an aircraft begins to move under its own power
for the purpose of preparing for take-off.

8. ‘Considered Inoperative’ as used in the dispatch conditions, means that item must be treated
for dispatch, taxiing 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 rectification interval.

9. ‘Daylight’ means the period between the beginning of morning civil twilight and the end of
evening civil twilight relevant to the local aeronautical airspace; or such other period, as may
be prescribed by the appropriate authority.

10. ‘Day of discovery’ means the calendar day that a malfunction was recorded in the aircraft
maintenance record/log book.

11. ‘Flight’ for the purposes of this MMEL, means the period of time between the moment when
an aircraft begins to move under its own power, for the purpose of preparing for take-off, until
the moment the aircraft comes to a complete stop on its parking area, after the first landing.

12. ‘Flight Day’, a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight based on either UTC or local time, as
selected by the operator, during which at least one flight is initiated for the affected aircraft.

13. ‘Icing Conditions’ means an atmospheric environment that may cause ice to form on the
aircraft or in the engine(s) as defined in the AFM/RFM.

14. ‘If installed’ means that the item is either optional or is not required to be installed on all
aircraft covered by the MMEL.

15. ‘Inoperative’ means that the item does not accomplish its intended purpose or is not
consistently functioning within its approved operating limits or tolerances.

16. ‘Is not used’ in the provisions, remarks or exceptions for an MMEL item may specify that
another item relieved in the MMEL ‘is not used’. In such cases, crew members should not
activate, actuate, or otherwise utilize that item under normal operations. It is not necessary for
the operators to accomplish the (M) procedures associated with the item. However,
operations-related provisions, (O) procedures must be complied with. 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 crew members that an item is not to be used under normal operations.

17. ‘Intended flight route’ corresponds to any point on the route including diversions to reach
alternate aerodromes required to be selected by the operational rules.

18. ‘Item’ means component, instrument, equipment, system or function.

19. ‘(M)’ indicates a requirement for a specific maintenance procedure which 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 functions. 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.

20. ‘Master Minimum Equipment List’ means a document approved by the Agency that
establishes the aircraft equipment allowed to be inoperative under conditions specified therein
 for a specific type of aircraft.

21. ‘Maximum distance from an adequate aerodrome for two-engine aeroplanes’ as defined
in SPA.ETOPS and CAT.OP.AH.140.

22. ‘Minimum Equipment List’ means a document established as specified under 8.a.3. of Annex
IV to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 and approved by the competent authority, in accordance
with ORO.MLR.105, that authorizes an operator to dispatch an aircraft with aircraft equipment
inoperative as per CAT.IDE.A/H.105 or NCC.IDE.A/H.105 under the conditions specified
therein.

23. ‘Night” means the period between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of
morning civil twilight relevant to the local aeronautical airspace; or such other period, as may
be prescribed by the appropriate authority. Opposite of ‘Daylight’.

24. ‘Notes’ provide additional information for flight crew 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 dispatch conditions.

25. ‘Number Installed’ is the number (quantity) of items 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), or not applicable, a number is not
required; a ‘-’ is then inserted. Note: Where the MMEL shows a variable number installed, the
MEL should reflect the actual number installed, as far as practical.

26. ‘Number required for dispatch’ is the minimum number (quantity) of items required for
operation provided the conditions specified are met. Should the number be a variable (e.g.
passenger cabin items) or not applicable, a number is not required; a ‘-’ is then inserted. Note:
Where the MMEL shows a variable number required for dispatch, the MEL should reflect the
actual number required for dispatch, as far as practical, or an alternate means of configuration
control approved by the competent authority.

27. ‘-’ in the Number Installed Column (respectively Number Required for Dispatch Column)
indicates a variable number (quantity) of the item installed (respectively item required) or not
applicable. Note: Where the MMEL shows a variable number installed, the MEL should reflect
the actual number installed, as far as practical.

28. ‘(O)’ indicates a requirement for a specific operational procedure which must be accomplished
in planning for and/or 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 functions. 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 a part of the operator’s manual or MEL. Note: The (M) and (O)
symbols are required in the operator’s MEL.

29. ‘Operating minima’ means the set of requirements associated to operations requiring a
specific approval (refer to Part-SPA).

30. ‘Pilot Operating Handbook/Airplane Flight Manual (POH/AFM)’ The Pilot Operating
Handbook/Airplane Flight Manual (POH/AFM) is issued to a specific aircraft model/serial
number. This is listed on the title page of the POH/AFM. The POH/AFM is required to be
carried onboard the aircraft. It is the responsibility of the owner to maintain the POH/AFM in a
current status.

31. ‘Placarding’ Each inoperative item must be placarded, as applicable, to inform and remind the
crew members and maintenance personnel of the item’s condition. Note: To the extent
practical, placards should be located adjacent to the control or indicator for the item affected;
however, unless otherwise specified, placard wording and location will be determined by the
operator.

32. ‘Rectification intervals’ Inoperative items or components, deferred in accordance with the
MEL, must be rectified at or prior to the rectification intervals established by the following letter
designators:

Category A

No standard interval is specified. However, items in this category shall be rectified in

accordance with the conditions stated in the MMEL.

(i) Where a time period is specified in calendar days or flight days, the interval excludes the
day of discovery.
 (ii) Where a time period is specified other than in calendar days or flight days, it shall start at
the point when the defect is deferred in accordance with the operator’s approved MEL.

Category B

Items in this category shall be rectified within three (3) calendar days, excluding the day of
discovery.
Category C

Items in this category shall be rectified within ten (10) calendar days, excluding the day of
discovery.

Category D
Items in this category shall be rectified within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days,
excluding the day of discovery.

33. ‘Remarks or Exceptions’ include statements either prohibiting or allowing operation with a
specific number of items inoperative, provisos (conditions and limitations), notes, (M) and/or
(O) symbols, as appropriate for such operation.

34. ‘Required Cabin Crew Seat’ is a seat in the aircraft cabin which meets the following
conditions:

1) Where the certification of the cabin requires this seat to be occupied by a qualified
cabin crew member as specified in the Operations Manual;

2) This seat is a part of the station to which a qualified cabin crew member is assigned
for the flight; and

3) The qualified cabin crew member assigned to the station is a member of the
minimum cabin crew designated for the flight.

​PREAMBLE
Introduction

The following is applicable for operators under European air operations regulations (Regulation Air
Operations). Paragraph 1.c.2 of Annex I to Article 5 (essential requirements for airworthiness) of
Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 (the ‘Basic Regulation’) requires that all equipment installed on an
aircraft required for type certification or by operating rules shall be operative. However, paragraph
2.a.3 of Annex IV to Article 8 (essential requirements for air operations) of the Basic Regulation
also allows the use of a Minimum Equipment List (MEL) where compliance with certain equipment
requirements is not necessary in the interests of safety under all operating conditions. Experience has
shown that with the various levels of redundancy designed into aircraft, operation of every system or
installed items may not be necessary when the remaining operative equipment can provide an
acceptable level of safety.

Purpose and limitations

This Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is developed by the applicant and holders of
(Supplemental) Type Certificate and approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency to improve
aircraft use and thereby providing more convenient and economic air transportation for the public.
This MMEL includes those items related to airworthiness, air operations, airspace requirements and
other items the Agency 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 rudders. In order to maintain an acceptable level of safety, the MMEL establishes
limitations on the duration of and conditions for operation with inoperative items. Unless
specifically allowed by this MMEL, an inoperative item may not be removed from the aircraft.

Utilization

The MMEL is the basis for the development of individual operator’s MEL which takes into
consideration the operator’s particular aircraft equipment configuration and operational conditions.
An operator’s MEL may differ in format from the MMEL, but shall not be less restrictive than the
MMEL. The individual operator’s MEL, when approved, allows operation of the aircraft with
inoperative items of equipment for a certain period of time until rectification can be accomplished.

The MEL cannot deviate from Airworthiness Directives, or any other additional mandatory
requirements. It is important to remember that all items related to the airworthiness and the
operational regulations of the aircraft not listed on the MMEL shall be operative.
Suitable conditions and limitations in the form of placards, maintenance procedures, crew operating
procedures and other restrictions as prescribed in this MMEL shall be specified in the MEL to ensure
that an acceptable level of safety is maintained. It is important that rectifications be accomplished at
the earliest opportunity.

When an item is discovered to be inoperative, it is reported by making an entry in the continuing

airworthiness record system or the operator’s technical log, as applicable. Following sufficient fault
identification, the item is then either rectified or deferred following the MEL or other approved
means of compliance acceptable to the competent authority and the Agency prior to further
operation. MEL conditions and limitations do not relieve the operator from determining that the
aircraft is in a condition for safe operation with items inoperative.

Prior to operation with any item inoperative acceptance by the crew is required in accordance with
the continuing airworthiness management procedures.

Operators shall establish a controlled and sound rectification program including the parts, personnel,
facilities, procedures and schedules to ensure timely rectification.

Operators should include guidance in the MEL to deal with any failures which occur between
the commencement of the flight and the start of the take-off.

When developing the MEL, compliance with the stated intent of the preamble, definitions and
the conditions and limitations specified in this MMEL is required.

Multiple inoperative items

Operators are responsible for exercising the necessary operational control to ensure that an
acceptable level of safety is maintained. The exposure to additional failures during continued
operation with inoperative items shall also be considered. Wherever possible, account has been
taken in this MMEL of multiple inoperative items. However, it is unlikely that all possible
combinations of this nature have been accounted for. Therefore, when operating with multiple
inoperative items, the inter-relationships between those items and the effect on aircraft operation and
crew workload shall be considered.

Rectification interval extension

The operator may be permitted, by its competent authority, to extend the rectification intervals of the
MEL.

This MMEL has been evaluated taking into account a one-time extension of the rectification
intervals of category B, C and D.

 GUIDELINES FOR (M) & (O) PROCEDURES

The OEB has identified a need for certain procedures to provide an adequate level of safety while
providing relief for some items. These procedures must be established by the operator and may be
based on the aircraft manufacturer’s recommended procedures, Supplemental Type Certificate
modifier’s recommended procedures, or equivalent operator procedures. When recommended
procedures are published the operator should comply with these procedures. If recommended
procedures are not published, the following guidelines delineate the aspects to be considered by the
operator in the development of required procedures.

Cessna has developed recommended (M) maintenance and (O) operational procedures for the
Cessna 182S Master Minimum Equipment List (P/N 182COMPEU-00-00, or later revision).
Operator’s MEL procedures should be based on the Cessna procedures.
