PRELIMINARY NOTES
1 PREAMBLE
The following is applicable for operators under European operating regulations (JAR-OPS 3).
The regulations require that all equipment installed on an aircraft in compliance with the
Airworthiness code and the Operating Requirements must be operative. However, the
regulations also permit 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 component may not be necessary when the
remaining operative equipment can provide an acceptable level of safety.
The EASA Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is developed by the Type Certificate
Holder to improve aircraft utilization and thereby provide more convenient and economic air
transportation for the public. The EASA MMEL includes those items of equipment related to
airworthiness and operating requirements and other items of equipment which 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 blades and
rotors.
The MMEL is the basis for development of individual operator's MELs which take into
consideration the operator's particular aircraft equipment configuration and operational
conditions.
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 permits operation of the aircraft
with inoperative equipment.
Equipment not required by the operation being conducted and equipment in excess of the
requirements are included in the MEL with appropriate conditions and limitations. The MEL
must not deviate from Airworthiness Directives or any other Mandatory Requirement. It is
important to remember that all equipment related to the airworthiness and the operating
requirements 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 rectifications can be accomplished. It is important that rectifications 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. Rectification Interval Extension, as prescribed in JARMMEL/MEL.081, has been taken into account in the development of this MMEL. Therefore
operators, with the approval of their authority, may consider use of the referenced procedure
as being within the scope of this MMEL. 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 the applicable regulations. The
item is then either rectified or may be deferred per the MEL or other approval means
acceptable to the competent Authority 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 of equipment inoperative.

2 DEFINITION
Category A:
-
(i) No standard interval is specified, however, items in this category shall be rectified in
accordance with the conditions stated in the MMEL.
- (ii) Where a time period is specified (in calendar days) it shall start at 00:01 on the
calendar day following the day of discovery.
Category B:
Items in this category shall be repaired within three (3) consecutive calendar days (72
hours), excluding the day the malfunction was discovered.
Category C:
Items in this category shall be repaired within ten (10) consecutive calendar days (240
hours), excluding the day the malfunction was discovered.
Category D:
Items in this category shall be repaired within one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive
calendar days, excluding the day the malfunction was discovered.
NOTE
As prescribed in JAR-MMEL/MEL.081 and subject to the approval of the Authority,
the operator may use a procedure for the extension of the applicable rectification
intervals B, C and D, for the same duration, as specified in its MEL.
Rectification interval extension is prohibited for rectification intervals A.

Both these symbols used singly or together indicate a requirement for suitable
procedures to be established ((O) Operational procedure or/and (M)
Maintenance procedure), published and applied, should the flight be
performed with inoperative equipment.
Different conditions may be required for operations when they have a cumulative
effect; they are indicated as follows:
(a), (b), (c) .
When they are exclusive, they are listed as follows:
- or - or -
.
VFR:
VMC:
IFR:
IMC:
Icing conditions means atmospheric conditions that may cause ice to form on
the helicopter or in the engines.
. As required means that the specific item of equipment may be required in
accordance with the applicable operational regulation. Operators should refer to the
JAR-OPS 3 MEL Policy document (Temporary Guidance Leaflet number 26) for
suitable alleviations based upon the required equipment identified within
JAR-OPS 3, subpart K and L (published in the JAA Administrative and Guidance,
section four, Operations, part three).
.
Secured and/or isolated means that the specific component must be put into
an acceptable condition for safe flight.
- "PLACARDING": Each inoperative item must be placarded to inform and remind the
crew members 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.
