DEFINITIONS

1. System Definitions. System numbers are based on the Air Transport Association (ATA) Specification Number 100 and items re numbered sequentially.

a. "Item" (Column 1) means the equipment, system, component, or function listed in the "Item" column.

b. "Number Installed" (Column 2) 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) a number is not required.

c. "Number Required for Dispatch" (Column 3) is the minimum number (quantity) of items required for operation provided the conditions specified in Column 4 are met.

NOTE: Where the MMEL shows a variable number required for dispatch, the MEL must reflect the actual number required for dispatch or an alternate means of configuration control approved by the Administrator.

d. "Remarks or Exceptions" (Column 4) in this column includes a statement either prohibiting or permitting operation with a specific number of items inoperative, provisos (conditions and limitations) for such operation, and appropriate notes.

e. 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/Rotorcraft Flight Manual" (AFM/RFM) is the document required for type certification and approved by the responsible FAA Aircraft Certification Office. The FAA approved AFM/RFM for the specific aircraft is listed on the applicable Type Certificate Data Sheet.

3. "As required by FAR" means that the listed item is subject to certain provisions (restrictive or permissive) expressed in the Federal Aviation Regulations operating rules. The number of items required by the FAR must be operative. When the listed item is not required by FAR 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 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.

5. "-" symbol in Column 2 and/or Column 3 indicates a variable number (quantity) of the item installed.

6. "Deleted" in the remarks column after a sequence item indicates that the item was previously listed but is now required to be operative if installed in the aircraft.

7. "ER" refers to extended range operations of a two-engine airplane which has a type design approval for ER operations and complies with the provisions of Advisory Circular 120-42A.

8. "Federal Aviation Regulations" (FAR) means the applicable portions of the Federal Aviation Act and Federal Aviation Regulations.

9. "Flight Day" means a 24 hour 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.

10. "Icing Conditions" means an atmospheric environment that may cause ice to form on the aircraft or in the engine(s).

11. Alphabetical symbol in Column 4 indicates a proviso (condition or limitation) that must be complied with for operation with the listed item inoperative.

12. "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).


2007 Air Carrier Compliance Group http://www.air-compliance.com Date: 09/15/2007 Revision: Original Page: xii

13. "Notes:" in Column 4 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.

14. 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 systems associated with the inoperative system must be operative unless relief is specifically authorized per the MMEL).

15. "(M)" symbol 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. Procedures requiring specialized knowledge or skill, or requiring the use of tools or test equipment should be accomplished by maintenance personnel. 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.

16. "(O)" symbol indicates a requirement for a specific operations 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 unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator.

17. "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.

18. "Visual Flight Rules" (VFR) is as defined in FAR Part 91. This precludes a pilot from filing an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight plan.

19. "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.

20. "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.

21. "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.

22. Repair Intervals: All users of an MEL approved under FAR 121, 125, 129 and 135 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:

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 26th, the three day interval would begin at midnight the 26th and end at midnight the 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 recorded at 10 a.m. on January 26th, the 10 day interval would begin at midnight the 26th 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.

The letter designators are inserted adjacent to Column 2.

23. Electronic fault alerting system - General New generation aircraft display system fault indications to the flight crew by use of computerized display systems. Each aircraft manufacturer has incorporated individual design philosophies in determining the data that would be represented. The following are customized definitions (specific to each manufacturer) to help determine the level of messages affecting


2007 Air Carrier Compliance Group http://www.air-compliance.com Date: 09/15/2007 Revision: Original Page: xiii

the aircraft's dispatch status. When preparing the MEL document, operators are to select the proper Definition No. 23 for their aircraft, if appropriate.

24. "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 by the FOEB, the item becomes an MMEL item rather than an administrative control item.

25. "" 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 item has been installed on one or more of the operator's aircraft. The symbol, however, shall not 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.

26. "Excess Items" means those items that have been installed that are redundant to the requirements of the FARs.

27. "Day of Discovery" is the calendar day an equipment/instrument malfunction was recorded in the aircraft maintenance log and or record. This day is excluded from the calendar days or flight days specified in the MMEL for the repair of an inoperative item of equipment. This provision is applicable to all MMEL items, i.e., categories "A, B, C, and D."

PREAMBLE

The following is applicable for authorized certificate holders operating under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Parts 121, 125, 129, 135: The FAR 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 safety under all operating conditions. Experience has shown that with the various levels 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. A Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is developed by the FAA, with participation by the aviation industry, to improve aircraft utilization and thereby provide more convenient and economic air transportation for the public. The FAA approved MMEL 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 an acceptable level of safety by appropriate conditions and limitations; it does not contain obviously required items such as wings, flaps, and rudders. The MMEL is the basis for development of individual operator MELs which take into consideration the operator's particular aircraft equipment configuration and operational conditions. Operator MELs, for administrative control, may include items not contained in the MMEL; however, relief for administrative control items must be approved by the Administrator. An operator's MEL may differ in format from the MMEL, but cannot be less restrictive than the MMEL. The individual operator's MEL, when approved and authorized, permits operation of the aircraft with inoperative equipment.

Equipment not required by the operation being conducted and equipment in excess of FAR requirements are included in the MEL with appropriate conditions and limitations. The MEL must not deviate from the Aircraft Flight Manual Limitations, Emergency Procedures or with Airworthiness Directives. It is important to remember that all equipment related to the airworthiness and the operating regulations of the aircraft not listed on the MMEL must be operative.

Suitable conditions and limitations in the form of placards, 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 can be accomplished. It is important that repairs be accomplished at the earliest opportunity. In order to maintain an acceptable level of safety and reliability the MMEL establishes limitations on the 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/Logbook as prescribed by FAR. The item is then either repaired or may be deferred per the MEL or other approved means acceptable to the Administrator prior to further operation. MEL conditions and limitations, do not relieve the operator from determining that the aircraft is in condition for safe operation with items of equipment inoperative.

When these requirements are met, an Airworthiness Release, Aircraft Maintenance Record/Logbook entry, or other approved documentation is issued as prescribed by FAR. 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 the 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.

WHEN USING THE MEL, COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATED INTENT OF THE PREAMBLE, DEFINITIONS, AND THE CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THE MEL IS REQUIRED.

MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

LIMITATIONS 1. The MEL shall not conflict with AFM limitations, CFR’s, emergency procedures, or airworthiness directives. Suitable

limitations in the form of placards, maintenance procedures, pilot operating procedures, and other restrictions as necessary are specified in the MEL to ensure that an acceptable level of safety is maintained.

2. Compliance with this MEL, which is mandatory, will result in the highest level of safety. If the Pilot in Command is ever in doubt of operating the aircraft with an item inoperative, even if approved to do so under the MEL, that pilot shall not operate the aircraft.

3. ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE MEL MUST BE OPERATIVE.

4. The MEL lists all items of installed equipment that may be inoperative. The MEL does not contain obviously required items such as wingsds, flaps, rudders, etc. Inoperative items may include instruments and equipment required by the airworthiness standards under which the aircraft is type certificated, instruments and equipment required by the operating rules, and items in excess of these requirements.

5. The MEL is not a list of items required to be in the aircraft.

6. The MEL does not provide the authority to install or remove an item from the aircraft.

7. Extensions to the maximum repair interval for category A and D items is not authorized.

8. A defect entered into the aircraft’s maintenance record/logbook in effect removes the aircraft from service. The aircraft remains out of service until the defect is corrected or deferred and an appropriate maintenance person returns the aircraft to service. Maintenance personnel can reflect this approval for return to service in the aircraft’s maintenance record/logbook in one of two ways:

An entry showing the corrective action that was taken for the defect; appropriate maintenance personnel sign the entry and include the signer’s certificate number, or

A deferral statement with the signature of a person authorized to defer needed maintenance for the operator.

INOPERATIVE COMPONENTS WITHIN A SYSTEM MEL provisions for inoperative items which are components of a system usually consider that the system overall is operative. When the system is inoperative, however, there usually is no need for the component to be operative. Therefore, any component directly associated with and having no function other than supporting a system listed in the MEL may be inoperative when that system is inoperative. However, warning/caution systems associated with the inoperative system must be operative unless relief is specifically authorized in the MEL.

OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES The FAA grants deferral per the MEL only after maintenance personnel have determined that the aircraft is safe to be flown and that the specific conditions, limitations, and procedures for that item have been accomplished. The satisfactory accomplishment of all procedures is primarily the responsibility of Fedair, LLC. This responsibility may be delegated to qualified persons when published in the Fedair, LLC’s manual or this MEL.

In addition to the specified MEL conditions and limitations, Fedair, LLC’s is responsible for determining that the aircraft is in condition for safe operation. When necessary, detailed procedures for release of the aircraft with inoperative items have been included in the MEL. Additionally some items require the pilot to contact an authorized mechanic to determine airworthiness.

DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Oversight and compliance with this MEL.

2. Oversight of this Management Program for compliance.

STEP BY STEP-HOW TO USE THE MEL

The following procedure is used as guidance to dispatch an aircraft with an MEL.

If it is suspected that a system or component is inoperative or malfunctioning:

1. Record the entry in the discrepancy column of the Aircraft Discrepancy Log.

2. Check the operation of the system or component per the accepted guidance in whatever manual is appropriate, such as the checklists, the switch movements, the AFM, etc. If the system or component is still not operating properly, continue.

3. Either the PIC or a mechanic consults the MEL to determine if the specific item is listed in the MEL. If it is not listed, then the aircraft is grounded until the item is fixed. If it is an MEL item, continue.

4. Review the information dealing with the MEL Deferral, including number required for dispatch and any comments that have to be complied with per the guidance in the item.

5. Review the MEL Deferred Discrepancy form to ensure that the inoperative item will not interfere with any other existing MEL’ed items, if any.

6. If there is an (M) procedure in the MEL, it is completed by a technician. This is usually a minor maintenance action to ensure that the inoperative system or component is not at risk of causing other problems. An entry is also made on the corresponding Aircraft Discrepancy Log CORRECTED column. The MEL has the (M) procedure spelled out and you will usually not require an aircraft maintenance manual.

7. The time limit for repair is completed and noted by the technician.

8. If applicable, a placard is applied per the guidance in the MEL. The minimum information on the sticker is the expiration date and the MEL ATA reference. Place the placard in accordance with the MEL Placarding Procedures.

9. The mechanic and pilot now consult the MEL to determine if there is an (O) procedure. If there is not, then the provisos, if they are listed, give the pilot the limitations under which he or she must operate. Additional flight planning may be required.

10. If there is an (O) procedure in the MEL the pilot consults the MEL for the details of the procedure and acts to comply. This might mean changing fuel loads because gauges don’t work or other limiting factors. Some MEL’s have few (O) procedures and extensive provisos for guidance.

11. Before each flight the Pilot-in-Command continues to consult the MEL to determine if the limitations would affect that particular flight.

15. As soon as possible, Fedair, LLC causes the discrepancy to be repaired. When this is done the technician makes the appropriate entries on the Aircraft Discrepancy Log as specified in the MEL Management Program.
