0.5.1. Summary

The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) provides an aid for flight crews and maintenance personnel in their effort to
dispatch an aircraft on schedule from any station. The MEL takes into consideration the particular aircraft
equipment, configuration and operational conditions, routes being flown and requirements set by Romanian Civil
Aeronautic Authority (RCAA).

The MEL is intended to permit operation of an aircraft, under specific conditions, with particular instruments, items
of equipment or functions inoperative at the commencement of flight, for a period of time until repair can be
accomplished. Refer to chapter 0.5.5 below, Repair Intervals - MEL Category. The provisions of the MEL are
applicable until the aircraft commences the flight (the point at which the aircraft first moves under its own power).

If a failure occurs between the commencement of the flight and the start of the take-off, any decision to continue
the flight should be subject to pilot judgement and good airmanship. The pilot-in-command/commander may refer to
the MEL before any decision to continue the flight is taken.

To compile this MEL the following documents were considered:


- EASA approved MASTER MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST for ALL ATR MODELS, latest approved revision (see
transmittal);
- JAR MMEL/ MEL;
- JAA TGL 26;
- RCAA OPS LAAG OPERATIUNI DE LUCRU AERIAN SI AVIATIE GENERALA Editie 1/2009;
- CAME TAROM, para.1.1.2 MEL application;
- TAROM TECHNICAL PROCEDURE MO 013 - LOG BOOK (Jurnalul de Bord);
- FLIGHT OPERATIONAL DIVISION DOCUMENT, REF DOZ 311/24.01.2013.
- COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No. 965/2012.
- REGULATION (EC) No. 216/2008.
The MEL does not deviate from the Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) Limitations or Emergency Procedures
or from any applicable Airworthiness Directive and is not less restrictive than the MMEL. The MEL is established by
TAROM Engineering Department. By approving the MEL, RCAA permits dispatch of the aircraft for revenue, ferry
or training flights with certain items or components inoperative, provided an acceptable level of safety is maintained
by use of appropriate operational and/or maintenance procedures, by transfer of the function to another operating
component, or by reference to other instruments or components providing the required information.

0.5.2. Contents of the MEL

The MEL contains those items required by Operating Regulations or those items of airworthiness significance
which may be inoperative prior to dispatch, provided limitations and appropriate procedures are observed.
Equipment obviously basic to an aircraft airworthiness, such as wings, rudders, flaps, engines, landing gear etc., is
not listed and must be operative for all flights. It is important to note that:
all items which are related to airworthiness, or required for the safe operation, of the aircraft
and which are not included in the Minimum Equipment List, are automatically required to be
operative;
equipment obviously not required for safe operation of the aircraft, such as galley equipment or
passenger convenience items etc. may not be listed;
The items that are not listed in the MEL must be analyzed in order to determine if they are related to
airworthiness and required for safe operation. In order for inoperative installed equipment to be
considered non-safety-related, the following criteria should be considered:
- the operation of the aircraft is not adversely affected such that standard operating procedures related
to ground personnel, and crew members are impeded;
- the condition of the aircraft is not adversely affected such that the safety of passengers and/or
personnel is jeopardized;
- the condition of the aircraft is configured to minimize the probability of a subsequent failure that may
cause injury to passengers/personnel and/or cause damage to the aircraft;

- the condition does not include the use of required emergency equipment and does not impact
emergency procedures such that personnel could not perform them.

MEL Presentation
System & Sequence Numbers / Item field (column 1) lists the equipment, components, systems or functions,
for which dispatch conditions apply. The reference number for each item was allocated according to the reference
number listed in MMEL. System numbers are based on Air Transport Association (ATA) specification number 100.

Note : One single computer may include several functions. The corresponding MEL entry is either the computer
itself if fully inoperative or each function separately. If several functions are inoperative, reference must be
made to each one.

Rectification Interval Category field (column 2) indicates the category that correspond with the time interval
allowed for the affected system repair (refer to chapter 0.5.5 below, Repair Interval MEL Category).

Number Installed field (Column 3) indicates, for a given item, the quantity of equipment, components, systems
or functions installed on the aircraft. This quantity reflects the airplane type certificated configuration and, therefore
required for all flight conditions, unless otherwise indicated in column 4 in conjunction with exceptions or remarks
listed in column 5, if necessary.
Number Required for Dispatch field (Column 4) indicates, for a given item, the minimum quantity of
equipment, components, systems or functions which must be operative for dispatch, with the exceptions or remarks
listed in Column 5, if any. A dash symbol (-) in this column indicates that there is no defined number (quantity) of
items required for dispatch as long as the conditions and exceptions specified in Column 5 are satisfied.

Remarks or Exceptions field (Column 5) contains information regarding the operating conditions and
exceptions. It also describes required actions by the responsible personnel category (m) and/or (o) (refer
to chapter 0.5.6 below, Definitions and Abbreviations).
References given in column 5 can either be provided:
-To indicate that an item of equipment has to be considered inoperative as a result of the failure item listed in
column 1, or
-To indicate that another document has to be consulted (e.g. Refer to AFM), or
-To indicate that another ATA chapter of the MEL has to be consulted to apply the relevant item.
Therefore, the referred relevant MEL item must be entered and the associated dispatch conditions must be applied,
including the respective (o) and (m) procedures, if any.
Note in column 5 indicates additional information and references for crewmember or maintenance consideration.
0.5.3. Criteria for Dispatch - Commander Responsibility

MEL conditions and limitations do not relieve the Commander from determining that the aircraft is in a fit condition
for safe operation with specific unserviceable systems and/or components allowed by the MEL. Any decision to
continue a flight following a failure or unserviceable system and/or component which becomes apparent after the
commencement of the flight must be subject of the Commander's judgment and good airmanship. The Commander
may continue to make reference to and use of the MEL as appropriate before any decision to continue the flight is
taken. The decision of the Commander to have allowable inoperative items corrected prior to flight will take
precedence over the provisions contained in the MEL. The Commander may have requirements above the MEL,
whenever in his judgment such added equipment is essential to the safety of a particular flight under the special
conditions prevailing at the time. The Commander cannot accept o configuration below MEL requirements.
Whenever possible account has been taken in the MEL of 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 must be
considered.
The MEL cannot take into account all multiple unserviceable systems and/or components. Therefore, before
dispatching an aircraft with multiple inoperative MEL items, it must be assured that any interface or inter-
relationship between inoperative items will not result in a degradation in the level of safety and/or an undue
increase in crew workload. It is particularly in this area of multiple discrepancies and especially the discrepancies in
related systems, that good judgment, based on the circumstances of the case, including climatic and enroute
conditions must be used. The Commander has to be aware of all operational and technical consequences of the
failure concerned and has to ensure that the failure is adequately isolated or deactivated. For technical advice

contact TAROM Engineering Department or TAROM ATR Line Maintenance (SITA: BUHTERO, tel: 40-21-204-
1854, fax: 40-21-201-4801).

0.5.4. Maintenance Responsibility

Close co-operation is required between flight crew and maintenance in order to determine the best course of action
to be taken when a system or component failure has occurred. The decision of the Commander to comply with the
appropriate MEL requirement and to postpone maintenance activity will supersede any other intention. The
maintenance responsibilities are as following:
to make every effort to correct all technical irregularities as early as practicable and to release the
aircraft from the maintenance base in fully operational condition, including the items not required by
the Minimum Equipment List;
to inform the Commander as soon as practicable, when it becomes evident that inoperative equipment
cannot be made serviceable before scheduled departure;
to inform TAROM Flight Dispatch when a major component is inoperative that could affect operations
planning for further aircraft dispatch (ex: brake assembly, etc.);
to ensure that the actual cause of the failure has been positively localized and isolated according to
the appropriate procedures in the maintenance manual so as to be sure that the failure will not in any
way affect the operation of other associated equipment, required for flight;
unless specifically permitted by a maintenance procedure, an inoperative item may not be removed
from the aircraft;
to ensure that the Technical Log on board the aircraft contains a detailed description of the inoperative
equipment and information about the corrective action taken, as well as specific advises to the flight
crew through the "Briefing Card" system in case special operational procedures are required;
to placard in a suitable manner inoperative control(s), and/or indicator(s) when they are accessible to
the flight crew in flight; if inadvertent operation could produce a hazard, such equipment must be
rendered inoperative (physically) as described in the appropriate aircraft maintenance manual (AMM).

0.5.5. Repair intervals - MEL category

TAROM ATR Line Maintenance is responsible for and must ensure that defect rectification or repair of inoperative
systems or components, deferred in accordance with the MEL, is accomplished at or prior to the rectification
intervals established by the following letters designators given in the "Rectification Interval Category" column of the
MEL:

A. items in this category shall be rectified in accordance with the conditions stated in the "Remarks or Exceptions"
column:
where a time period is specified in calendar days it shall start at 00:01 UTC on the calendar day following
the day of discovery;
where a time period is specified in number of flights or flight hours, it shall start at the beginning of next
flight that follows the discovery.
B. items in this category shall be rectified within three (3) consecutive calendar days, excluding the day of
discovery;
C. items in this category shall be rectified within ten (10) consecutive calendar days, excluding the day of
discovery;
D. items in this category shall be rectified within hundred-twenty (120) consecutive calendar days excluding the
day of discovery .
Refer to chapter 0.5.10. below, Management of MEL Time Limits.

0.5.7. (Reserved)

0.5.8. Special procedures for operation outside MEL (reserved)

0.5.9. Ferry flights

Ferry flights may be dispatched with less than the equipment required in the MEL, provided all the equipment
expected to be utilized in flight is operative and any relevant sections of the flight manual (AFM) are applied. In
such cases a Permit to Fly is necessary to be obtained according to CAME chapter 1.13.2 procedure.

0.5.10. Management of MEL Time Limits / MEL Rectification Interval Extension


MEL restricted items must be tracked and corrected within the required time intervals. The monitoring of the time
interval for rectification for the MEL defects classified as A, B or C is the responsibility of the Line Maintenance
coordination staff. The monitoring of the time interval for rectification for the MEL defects classified as D is the
responsibility of the Planning and Technical Records department.

Every effort shall be made by the maintenance staff to reactivate the inoperative system or component after the
flight or as early as practicable but not later than the time interval specified by the letters A, B, C or D, however
under certain conditions, such as a shortage of parts from manufacturers or other unforeseen situations (e.g.
inability to obtain equipment necessary for proper troubleshooting and repair) the repair interval for a category B, C
or D defect may be extended one time, with a period equal to the initial one. Defects classified as category A in
the MEL may not be extended.
The TAROM Quality Assurance Manager may approve a onetime extension, provided that requirements of CAME
paragraph 1.1.2 Minimum Equipment List application are satisfied.
Associated procedures that shall be observed are:
- MO 013 TAROM Aircraft Technical Log for initiating the extension of the repair interval process for a
deferred defect by maintenance personnel and
M041 Maintenance Concessions Control for concession issuing by Planning and Technical Records and ongoing
surveillance process to ensure compliance.

0.5.11. AFM references within MEL


MEL is referring to AFM. AFM references that are used in MEL are consistent with the structure of the new Edora-
format AFM. This new AFM will be released by the end of 2016.
In the meantime, correspondences have to be made between the upcoming Edora-format AFM and the current
AFM.
By giving you those correspondences, the attached table will help you finding the given AFM section in the current
AFM.
It can be read as follows:
First column: MEL reference;
Second column: Edora-format AFM references taking into account the upcoming AFM structure, as they
appear in MEL;
Third column: Current AFM references, to which you should refer.

Note: Please note that for now Edora will refer to the format of the new e-Flight Ops documentation (Edora-format).
E-Flight Ops documentation will be used to designate the whole project, included further .xml phases.

Cabin crew briefing:
The senior cabin crew member should include the following in a special pre-departure
briefing of all cabin crew members:
Awareness of all crew members of the condition and location of the inoperative exit.
Revision of passenger pre-flight safety briefing.
Revision of emergency drills for all affected crew member(s). This should take into
account assessment of exit, redirection strategy and any other appropriate evacuation
techniques for cabin crew member(s) normally responsible for the operation of the
inoperative exit.
Cabin crew should identify the status of other exits in their vicinity and passenger
movement to operative exits, away from inoperative exits.
Seating of passengers.
When load factor permits, passengers should be seated as far away from the
inoperative exit as the airplane mass and balance allows, within the constraints of the
approved passenger reduction table. Liaison with the flight deck crew on this issue is
essential.
Passenger pre-flight briefing.
The pre-take-off briefing to passengers must accurately represent the current state and
condition of the airplanes escape facilities. An oral briefing by cabin staff, or a briefing
using automatic audio/visual means, or a briefing by reference to a briefing card, must
be immediately qualified by an oral announcement to draw the passengers' attention to
the fact that a particular exit is inoperative.
Assessment of inoperative exit usability in extreme circumstances
In the event of an emergency evacuation being required, in extreme circumstances, as a
last resort it may be possible for the exit to be used i.e. if no other exits are available.
For example an exit without a slide on one side of the airplane in an undercarriage
collapse situation, may provide a suitable means of egress. Cabin crew must assess the
conditions on the day and make appropriate judgments as to possible actions.
Passenger number reduction will made as follows:

Forward emergency exit door inoperative: mximum number of passengers: 34


passengers
Service door inoperative: maximum number of passengers: 26 passengers
