Introduction

This Transport Canada MMEL Supplement constitutes a mandatory change to the CAA Approved MMEL for the British Aerospace 146 / AVRO 146-RJ. This MMEL Supplement must be used in conjunction with the CAA Approved MMEL (Rev. No. 25 or later applicable revision).

The information contained herein supersedes the existing CAA Approved MMEL only for those items listed herein. For items not contained in this supplement, consult the CAA Approved MMEL.

Operating and/or maintenance procedures referred to in this supplement are the same as those supporting the CAA Approved MMEL unless otherwise indicated. Where there are no procedures provided by the manufacturer, it will be responsibility of the operator to develop adequate procedures.

The CAA Approved MMEL has entries where the “Remarks or Exceptions” column states “as required by Operating Requirements”. Unless such an entry is superseded by an item in this Supplement, all references should be made to the applicable Canadian regulation.

This MMEL Supplement uses the four column format as referenced in the Transport Canada MMEL/MEL Policy and Procedures Manual (TP 9155E). The same definitions and symbols as are used in the CAA Approved MMEL are applicable. Items which have no MMEL relief (i.e. relief withdrawn) are not categorized.

The Rectification Interval Extension Process established by the operator in conjunction with its approving authority supersedes that process on MMEL Page N.

Comments and inquiries should be directed to:
