MEL - Minimum Equipment List – To use for your own airplane (typically a jet), a Master MEL must be customized as to how your own plane is equipped, and that list then submitted in writing to the local FSDO (Flight Standards District Office).
Once approved, that MEL must be kept on board
Once created, the MEL must be used. That is the pilot can no longer chose whether to rely on the MEL, or the provisions of 91.213(d)
For a given piece of equipment, the length of time for the deferment corresponds to the letter assigned in the MEL to that equipment, with higher letters corresponding to longer periods of deferment. |
