PREAMBLE
The following is applicable for operators under European air operations regulations.
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 helicopter, operation of every system or
installed component may not be necessary when the remaining operative equipment can
provide an acceptable level of safety.
The Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is developed by the type certificate holder
and approved by the competent authority to improve helicopter utilisation 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 regulations 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 rotor blades, main/tail rotor gear box, etc.
The MMEL is the basis for development of individual operator MELs which take into
consideration the operator’s particular helicopter 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
respective regulations requirements are included in the MEL with appropriate conditions
and limitation. The MEL must not deviate from the helicopter flight manual limitations,
emergency procedures or airworthiness directives. It is important to remember that all
equipment related to the airworthiness and the operating regulations of the helicopter 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.

PREAMBLE
The MEL is intended to permit operation with inoperative items of equipment for a period
of time until rectification's 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. The MMEL/MEL is not intended to permit removal of
operative or inoperative items of equipment from serviceable aircraft unless specifically
allowed by this MMEL. When an item of equipment is discovered to be inoperative, it is
reported by making an entry in the helicopter maintenance record/logbook as prescribed
by respective regulations. The item is then either repaired or may be deferred per the MEL
or other approved means acceptable to the Agency prior to further operations. MEL
conditions and limitations, do not relieve the operator from determining that the helicopter
is in condition for safe operation with items of equipment inoperative. This MMEL has been
evaluated taking into account a one-time extension of the rectification intervals of category
B, C and D. 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 the MEL in accordance with ORO.MLR.105(f).
When these requirements are met, an airworthiness release, helicopter maintenance

record/logbook entry, or other approved documentation is issued as prescribed by
respective regulations. 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 helicopter operation
and crew workload must be considered.
Operators are to establish a controlled and sound repair program including the parts,
personnel, facilities, procedures, and schedules to ensure timely repair. This program
should identify the actions required for maintenance discrepancy messages.
WHEN USING THE MEL, COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATED INTENT OF THE
PREAMBLE, DEFINITIONS, AND THE CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN
THE MEL IS REQUIRED.

DEFINITIONS
1. Systems Definitions.
System numbers are based on the European Association of Aerospace Industries
(AECMA) Specification 1000D and items are numbered sequentially.
a. “System & Sequence Numbers / Item” (column 1) means the equipment, system,
component, or function and its specific numbering.
b. “Rectification Interval” (column 2) means the category of rectification intervals
determined for a specific item.
c. “Number Installed” (column 3) is the number (quantity) of items normally installed
in the helicopter. This number represents the helicopter configurations
considered in developing this MMEL. Should the number be a variable (e.g.,
passenger cabin items) a number is not required.
NOTE: Where the MMEL shows a variable number installed, the MEL must
reflect the actual number installed or an alternate means of configuration
control approved by the Agency.
d. “Number Required for Dispatch” (column 4) is the minimum number (quantity) of
items required for operation provided the conditions specified in column 5 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 Agency.
e. “Remarks or Exceptions” (column 5) 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.
f. 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. “Rotorcraft Flight Manual” (RFM) The document required for type certificate and
approved by the responsible aircraft certification office. The approved RFM for the
specific helicopter is listed on the applicable type certificate data sheet.
3. “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.

DEFINITIONS
4. Each inoperative item when accessible to the crew in flight, the control(s), and/or
indicator(s) related to inoperative unit(s) or component(s) must be clearly placarded to
inform and remind crewmembers and maintenance personnel of the equipment
condition.
5. “~” symbol in column 3 and /or column 4 indicates a variable number (quantity) of the
item installed (including 0).
NOTE: Where the MMEL shows a variable number installed, the operator’s MEL must
reflect the actual number installed or an alternate means of configuration

accomplish its intended purpose or is not consistently functioning within its design
operating limit or tolerance.
NOTE: Some items have been designed to be fault tolerant and are monitored by
computers, which transmit fault messages to a centralised computer for the
purpose of maintenance. The presence of this category of messages does not
necessarily mean that the system is inoperative. It should be highlighted that
unless it is specifically allowed by the MMEL, the item should not be removed.
11. “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.

with all applicable requirements. Notes are not a part of the provisos.
13. 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 authorised per the MMEL.)
14. “(M)” symbol in column 5 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 authorised to perform certain functions.
Procedures requiring specialised 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.
15. “(O)” symbol in column 5 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 authorised 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
authorised by the NCAA.
16. “Deactivated and Secured” means that the specified component must be put into an
acceptable condition for safe flight.
17. “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.

HEMS flight, including but not limited to doctors, nurses and paramedics.
22. Rectification Intervals: All users of an MEL approved under respective regulations must
effect repairs of inoperative systems or components, deferred in accordance with the
MEL, 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.
Where a time period is specified it shall start at 00:01 on the calendar
day following the day of discovery.
Category B. Items in this category shall be rectified within three (3) consecutive
calendar days, excluding the day of discovery.
Category C. Items in this category shall be rectified within ten (10) consecutive
calendar days, excluding the day of discovery.
Category D. Items in this category shall be rectified within one hundred and twenty
(120) consecutive calendar days, excluding the day of discovery.
Category ~. Items in this category shall be rectified according to the most restrictive
of rectification interval(s) of the referenced item(s) in column (5).
This letter designators are listed in column 2.
NOTE: Based on ORO.MLR.105(f) 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 interval A.
