What the Course is About
On the ground, an aircraft is considered “airworthy” when its “physical state matches its design”, and so it is considered to be in a good condition for a safe operation. However, you can also achieve an acceptable level of safety for an aircraft which has known failures – and this is where the Minimum Equipment List (or MEL) comes in. The MEL is the operator’s tool which provides an approved way to determine the required conditions under which a flight can be commenced safely with inoperative equipment.
The MEL is a document which needs to be customised for a specific aircraft and required approval from respective National Aviation Authorities. The operator is ultimately responsible for the MEL customisation.
This course follows EASA regulation, and covers some of the basic principles of MELs.

This course is intended for aviation professionals who need to refresh their knowledge about MEL regulation and its use. This course can also be used to complement operators’ training programmes to fulfil MEL training as stated in AMC1 ORO.GEN.110(e).
