PRELIMINARY NOTES

1 PREAMBLE

1.1 Introduction 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 Regulations’) 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 Regulations 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 aircraft, operation of every system or of all installed items may not be necessary when the remaining operative equipment can provide an acceptable level of safety.

1.2 Purpose and limitations This Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is developed by Airbus Helicopters and approved by EASA to improve aircraft use and thereby providing more convenient and economic air transportation for the public. This MMEL includes those items related to airworthiness and IR-OPS and other items the EASA 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. In order to maintain an acceptable level of safety, the MMEL establishes limitations on the duration of and conditions for operation with inoperative items. Unless specifically allowed by this MMEL, an inoperative item may not be removed from the aircraft.

1.3 Utilization The MMEL is the basis for the development of an individual operator’s MELs which take into consideration the operator’s particular aircraft equipment configuration and operational conditions. All items related to the airworthiness and the operational regulations of the aircraft not listed on the MMEL shall be operative.

Airworthiness Directives supersedes the content of this MMEL.

When an item is discovered to be inoperative, it is reported by making an entry in the continuing airworthiness record system or the operator’s technical log, as applicable. Following sufficient fault identification, the item is then either rectified or deferred following the MEL or other approved means of compliance acceptable to the competent authority and the Agency 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 inoperative.



Prior to operation with any item inoperative, acceptance by the crew is required in accordance with the continuing airworthiness management procedures.

When developing the MEL, compliance with the stated intent of the preamble, definitions and the conditions and limitations specified in this MMEL is required. Multiple inoperative items Operators are responsible for exercising the necessary operational control to ensure that an acceptable level of safety is maintained. The exposure to additional failures during continued operation with inoperative systems or components must also be considered.

This MMEL takes into account multiple inoperative items. However, it is unlikely that all possible combinations of this nature have been accounted for. Therefore, when operating with multiple inoperative items, the inter-relationships between those items and the effect on aircraft operation and crew workload shall be considered.

Rectification interval extension This MMEL has been evaluated taking into account a one-time extension of the rectification intervals of categories B, C and D.

2 DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATORY NOTES ‘Rotorcraft Flight Manual’ means the document required for type certification and

approved by EASA.

‘Alternate procedures are established and used’ or similar statement, means that alternate procedures (if applicable), to the affected process, must be drawn up by the operator.

‘Any in excess of those required by regulations’ means that the listed item is required by applicable legislation (or the applicable airspace requirements) and must be operative, only excess items may be inoperative.

When the item is not required, it may be inoperative for the time specified by its rectification interval category.

‘As required by applicable regulations‘ means that the listed item of equipment is subject to certain provisions (restrictive or permissive) expressed in the applicable legislation (European air operations regulations, 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.

‘Calendar Day’ means a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight based on either UTC or local time, as selected by the operator. All calendar days are considered to run consecutively.

‘Commencement of flight’ is the point when an aircraft begins to move under its own power for the purpose of preparing for take-off.



‘Considered Inoperative’, as used in the dispatch conditions, means that the 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.

‘Daylight’ means the period between the beginning of morning civil twilight and the end of evening civil twilight relevant to the local aeronautical airspace; or such other period, as may be prescribed by the appropriate authority.

‘Day of discovery’ means the calendar day that a malfunction was recorded in the aircraft maintenance record/log book.

‘Deactivated’ and ‘secured’ means that the specified item must be put into an acceptable condition for safe flight.

‘Flight’, for the purposes of this MMEL, means the period of time between the moment helicopter’s rotor start turning, until the moment the helicopter finally comes to rest at the end of the flight and rotor is stopped.

‘Item’ means component, instrument, equipment, system or function.

‘Icing Conditions’ means an atmospheric environment that may cause ice to form on the aircraft or in the engine(s) as defined in the RFM.

‘If installed’ means that the item is either optional or is not required to be installed.

‘Inoperative’ means that the item does not accomplish its intended purpose or is not consistently functioning within its approved operating limits or tolerances.

‘Is not used’ in the provisos, remarks or exceptions for an MMEL item may specify that another item relieved in the MMEL ‘is not used’. In such cases, crew members should not activate, actuate, or otherwise utilize that item under normal operations. It is not necessary for the operators to accomplish the (M) procedures associated with the item.

However, operations-related provisions, (O) procedures and rectification interval must be complied with. An additional placard must be affixed, to the extent practical, adjacent to the control or indicator for the item that is not used, to inform crew members that an item is not to be used under normal operations.

‘Intended Route’ corresponds to any point on the route including diversions to reach alternate aerodromes required to be selected by the operational rules.

‘It is not reasonably practical to repair or replace before commencement of the flight ’ The intention of this proviso is that the aircraft may be dispatched if there are inadequate available spares or if there are no qualified and authorized personnel on base to perform the task. The definition is not dependent on whether there is enough time available to complete the task before the next flight. If the aircraft is at a maintenance base or any other airport but the spare(s) or manpower is not available, then the aircraft may be dispatched. As soon as the aircraft lands at an airport where the spares are available and there are qualified and authorized personnel on base, the defect must be rectified.



‘(M)’ indicates a requirement for a specific maintenance procedure which must be accomplished. Normally these procedures are accomplished by maintenance personnel using Work cards from the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).

The simple maintenance procedures not involving an AMM work card are described directly in column 5.

‘Master Minimum Equipment List’ means a document approved by EASA that establishes the aircraft equipment allowed to be inoperative under conditions specified therein for a specific type of aircraft.

‘Note’ provides additional information for flight crew or maintenance consideration.

‘–’ A dash indicates a variable number of the equipment items either installed (column (3) "Number Installed") or required (column (4) "Number required for dispatch"), or not applicable.

‘Number Installed’ is the number of items normally installed in the aircraft. This number represents the aircraft configuration considered in developing this MMEL. Should the number be variable (e.g. passenger cabin items), or not applicable, a number is not required; a ‘–’ is then inserted.

‘Number required for dispatch’ is the minimum number of items required for operation provided the conditions specified are met. Should the number be variable (e.g. passenger cabin items) or not applicable, a number is not required; a ‘-’ is then inserted.

‘(O)’ indicates a requirement for a specific operational procedure which must be accomplished in planning for and/or operating with the listed item inoperative.

‘Placarding’: Each inoperative item must be placarded.

NOTE: To the extent practical, placards should be located adjacent to the control or indicator for the item affected.

‘Rectification intervals’: Inoperative items or components must be rectified at or prior to the rectification intervals established (column (2)) 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. a) Where a time period is specified in calendar days or flight days, the interval

excludes the day of discovery. b) Where a time period is specified other than in calendar days or flight days, it

shall start at the point when the anomaly is recorded.

Category B: Items in this category shall be rectified within three (3) calendar days, excluding the day of discovery.

Category C: Items in this category shall be rectified within ten (10) calendar days, excluding the day of discovery.

Category D: Items in this category shall be rectified within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days, excluding the day of discovery.



‘Remarks or Exceptions’ include statements either prohibiting or allowing operation

with a specific number of items inoperative, provisos (conditions and limitations), notes, (M) and/or (O) symbols, as appropriate for such operation.

‘Visible Moisture’ means 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.

‘VFR’ means flight performed according to visual flight rules. ‘VMC’ means flight performed according to visual meteorological conditions.

‘IFR’ means flight performed according to instrument flight rules.

‘IMC’ means flight performed according to instrument meteorological conditions.

4 MMEL MANAGEMENT

4.1 Definitions Variant of standard definition and Certification specificities The "standard" MMEL corresponds to the definition of the basic version and constitutes the reference for certification. The "variant" MMEL corresponds to a Type design definition that includes modifications modifying the standard TC. Information concerning either a variant of standard definition or specific non-EASA certification requirements may necessitate adapting the information of the EASA MMEL on certain items within some ATA chapters. In these cases, specificities are covered by SUPPLEMENTS for variants of standard definition and by APPENDIX for specific certification requirements for foreign authorities A SUPPLEMENT or APPENDIX is a MMEL covering any differences relative to the Standard aircraft MMEL information, for each affected ATA, by supplementing or modifying standard MMEL affected items only. The SUPPLEMENT or APPENDIX is updated as a stand-alone document.

List of effective pages and applicability The list of effective pages (P5) identifies, for each ATA, all the pages making up the MMEL. The list of effective pages is supplemented by a log of Normal Revisions.

4.2 Guidance in the use of supplements and appendices 4.2.1 Applicability

Supplements cover a variant of standard definition linked to design modifications. Appendices cover specific certification requirements of foreign Authorities. Supplements and appendices must be used in conjunction with the standard EASA MMEL. The applicability (variant of standard definition or foreign Authority) is clearly mentioned in the relevant Supplement or appendix. In case of an appendix made due to specific certification requirements of a foreign Authority, it is applicable for the aircraft which operate under this specific Certification jurisdiction.

List of MMEL Supplements The complete list of applicable Supplements is given in ATA 00.00.00.P2.



4.2.2 MMEL management with supplements and appendices

A supplement or an appendix defines the differences relative to the standard MMEL recommended by EASA for the aircraft type, by identifying the differences at the latest revision.

The information presented in the standard EASA MMEL remains applicable except where superseded by an item in the supplement or in the appendix.
