MD 80 MEL PROCEDURES MANUAL

1. Introduction
This Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is based on the last Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) Revision No
38C, dated 17.07.2012 and issued by the FAA and Boeing Company DC-9 DDG, Rev No 19, dated
09.10.2009.
This MEL takes into consideration IAT's particular aircraft equipment, configuration and operational conditions,
routes being flown and requirements set by IRCAO.
This MEL does not deviate from the Airplane Flight Manual Limitations or Emergency Procedures or from any
applicable Airworthiness Directive and is not less restrictive than the MMEL.
The MEL is intended to permit operations with inoperative items of equipment for a period of time until repairs can
be accomplished.
Rectifications are to be accomplished at the earliest opportunity and not later than the Rectification Interval
Category stated in the MEL.
MEL conditions and limitations do not relieve the commander from determining that the aircraft is in a fit condition
for safe operation with specified unserviceabilities.
The provisions of the MEL are applicable until the airplane commences the flight.
Any decision to continue a flight following a failure or unserviceability which becomes apparent after the
commencement of a flight (the point at which the aircraft first moves under its own power) must be the subject of
pilot judgment and good airmanship. The commander may continue to make reference to and use of the MEL as
appropriate.
By approval of the MEL the IRCAO permits dispatch of the airplane for revenue, ferry of training flights with
certain items or components inoperative provided an acceptable level of safety is maintained by use of appropriate
operational or maintenance procedures, by transfer of the function to another operating component, or by reference
to other instruments or components providing the required information.
For dispatch with secondary airframe or engine parts missing, refer to the Configuration Deviation List (CDL).

2. Contents of MEL
The MEL contains only those items required by Operating Regulations or those items of airworthiness significance,
which may be inoperative prior to dispatch, provided limitations and procedures, are observed. Equipment
obviously basic to airplane airworthiness such as wings, 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 the airworthiness of the airplane and not included on the list, are
automatically required to be operative.
Equipment obviously not required for safe operation of the airplane such as galley equipment, passenger
convenience items, etc. is not listed.

3. Criteria for Dispatch


The decision of the commander of the flight to have allowable items corrected prior to flight will take precedence
over the provisions contained in the MEL. The commander may request requirements above the minimum listed,
whenever in his judgment such added equipment is essential to the safety of a particular flight under the special
conditions prevailing at the time.
However, he/she shall never accept lower requirements.
Wherever possible, account has been taken in this 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-relationship between those items and the effect
on aircraft operation and crew workload must be considered.
The MEL cannot take into account all multiple unserviceabilities. Therefore, before dispatching an airplane with
multiple MEL items inoperative, it must be assured that any interface or inter-relationship between inoperative
items will not result in degradation in the level of safety and/or undue increase in crew workload. It is particularly in
this area of multiple discrepancies and especially discrepancies in related systems that good judgment, based on the
circumstances of the case, including climatic and enroute conditions must be used.

4. Maintenance Action
Every effort shall be made by maintenance to correct all technical irregularities as early as practicable, but in any
case repair should be accomplished within the “Rectification time interval” limits and/or according to the operator’s
“MME” Approved by IRCAO.
The decision of the commander to comply with the appropriate MEL requirement and to postpone maintenance
activity will supersede any other intention. The commander must be informed by maintenance staff as soon as
practicable, should it be impossible to repair the inoperative item prior to departure.
Whenever an airplane is released by maintenance for dispatch with items inoperative, the following is required:
- The technical log book aboard the airplane must contain a detailed description of the inoperative items, special
advice to the flight crew, if necessary, and information about corrective action taken.
- When they are accessible to the crew in flight, the controls, and/or indicators related to inoperative units or
components must be clearly placarded.
- If inadvertent operation could produce a hazard such equipment must be rendered inoperative (physically) as
given in the appropriate Maintenance Procedure.
If a MEL item includes a remark that the position, or condition, of a door, control or other component requires a
visual inspection, then this inspection must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel, or a qualified flight
crew member.
5. Repair Intervals
Repairs of inoperative items or components, deferred in accordance with the MEL, must be effected at or prior to
the repair times established by the letter designators given in the "Category" column of the MEL.

Category A: No standard interval is specified, however, items in this category shall be rectified in
accordance with the conditions stated in the "Remarks or Exceptions" column of the MEL.

Category B: Items in this category shall be rectified within three (3) consecutive calendar days (72 hours),
excluding the day of the malfunction was recorded.

Category C: Items in this category shall be rectified within ten (10) consecutive calendar days (240 hours),
excluding the day of the malfunction was recorded.

Category D: Items in this category shall be rectified within one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive
calendar days (2880 hours), excluding the day of the malfunction was recorded.

6. Ferry Flights
Ferry flights may be dispatched with less than the equipment specified in this MEL provided all the equipment
expected to be utilized in flight is operable and any relevant sections of the Operations Manual are applied.
Permission for such a flight, however, must be requested from IRCAO.
7. Definitions
a) Throughout the MEL, the item sequence of FAA approved DC9 Master MEL has been retained.
Therefore items numbers followed by the words “NOT APPLICABLE” refer to items listed on the
FAA approved DC9 Master MEL, but not installed on the IRAN AIRTOUR planes. The items of the
equipment in this list are classified in systems according to the Air Transport Association (ATA)
specification. Individual items within a given ATA classification are numbered sequentially.
b) Item (column 1): The equipment, system, components or function as listed in column 1.
NOTE: Items annotated in UPPER CASE letters indicates the precise flight deck legend used.
c) Rectification Time Interval (column 2): Is the time within which the inoperative system or
component must be repaired as established by the corresponding letter designator (A, B, C or D).
d) Number Installed (column 3): The number of the specified items normally installed in the aircraft.
This number identifies the aircraft configuration considered in developing the MEL.

e) Number Required for Dispatched (column 4): The minimum number of the specified items required
for operation provided the conditions defined in column 5 are met.
f) Remarks or Exceptions (column 5): This column includes a statement prohibiting operation or
permitting operation with a specific number of items inoperative, provisos (conditions and
limitations) for such operation and appropriate notes.
g) Placarding: Each inoperative item must be placarded to inform and remind the crew members and
maintenance personnel of the equipment condition. To the extent practicable, placards should be
located adjacent to the control or indicator for the item affected such that it is clear to the operating
crew that it or its associated system is inoperative. The placard must be installed at the earliest
possible opportunity by maintenance.
h) Inoperative: A system or item of equipment is deemed inoperative if it malfunctions such that it does
not accomplish its intended purpose and/or is not consistently functioning within its designed
operating limit(s) or tolerance(s).
i) Crew Operating Procedure: The use of this citation in column 5 indicates that an appropriate
operating procedure (or change to an existing procedure) must be established, published and utilized
to maintain the required level of safety while operating under the terms of the MEL.
Normally, these procedures are accomplished by the flight crew. However, other personnel may be
qualified and authorized to perform certain functions.
j) Maintenance Procedure Required: The use of this citation in column 5 indicates that an
appropriate maintenance procedure must be established, published and utilized prior to the first flight
undertaken following discovery of the defect and, if necessary, repeated at specified intervals during
operation under the terms of the MEL to maintain the required level of safety.
Normally, these procedures are accomplished by maintenance personnel. However, other personnel
may be qualified and authorized to perform certain functions.
NOTE: Where an item is annotated (O/M) the "/" is defined as "and/or", which shows that there may
be different options available in respect of the MEL procedures.
k) Icing Conditions: The definition of this term is that used in the Aircraft Flight Manual, Limitations.
Ice and Rain Protection.
l) Flight Hour: The time from the moment an aircraft leaves the surface of the earth until lit touches it
at the next point of landing.
m) Flight Day: A 24 hour period (from midnight to midnight) during which at least one flight is
scheduled for the affected aircraft.
n) System: System means the group of directly related components which together performs a specified
function, for example "RPM indication system" would include the RPM indicator, tachometer
generator, circuit breaker and associated circuitry.
o) Extended Overwater Flight: Refers to an operation over water at a horizontal distance
of more than 50 nautical miles from the nearest shore line.
p) Calendar Day: A period of 24h elapsed time commencing at midnight on the day of discovery and
recording of a malfunction in the aircraft's record/logbook and ending at midnight on the next day.
For example, if it were recorded at 10am on January 26th that a malfunction had occurred, and the
MEL allowed three calendar days for completion of repairs or replacements, the three day interval
would commence at midnight on 26th January and end at midnight on 29th January.
q) Dispatch: The point at which an aircraft first moves under its own power for the purpose of

FL 290 and FL 410 inclusive where aircraft are separated vertically by 300m (1,000ft).
x) “Considered Inoperative”, as used in the provisos means that item must be treated for dispatch, taxi
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 repair category.
y) “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, crewmembers should not activate, actuate, or
otherwise utilize that component or system under normal operations. It is not necessary for the
operators to accomplish the (M) procedures associated with the item. However, operational
requirements must be complied with, and an additional placard must be affixed, to the extent
practical, adjacent to the control or indicator the item that is not used to inform crewmembers that a
component or system is not to be used under normal operations.
z) Nonessential equipment and furnishings (NEF) are those items installed on the aircraft as part of the
original certification, supplemental type certificate, or engineering order that have no effect on the
safe operation of flight and would not be required by the applicable certification rules or operational
rules. They are those items that if inoperative, damaged or missing have no effect on the aircraft’s
ability to be operated safely under all operational conditions. These nonessential items may be
installed in areas including, but not limited to, the passenger compartment, flight deck area, service
areas, crew rest areas, lavatories, and galley areas. NEF items are not items already identified in the
manufacturer’s maintenance manual or operator’s approved maintenance program such as wear limits,
fuel/hydraulic leak rates, oil consumption, etc. Cosmetic items that are fully serviceable but worn or
soiled may be deferred under an operator’s NEF process.

8. Approval
The IAT person signing the list of effective pages certifies that this MEL does fully comply with all the
requirements of the current MEL Guidance material issued by IRCAO. The IRCAO approval on the list of
effective pages certifies the compliance with national regulations and policies of those items deviating from the

NOTE: The preceding steps reduce engine thrust at idle by


activating ARTS. This is required to reduce braking
requirements during taxi. Excessive taxi speeds may be
controlled with thrust reversers at idle, if required.

b. Set Maximum Takeoff Thrust.
c. Use AFM performance penalty for ART Idle during takeoff.
d. Place ART switch OFF after first power reduction.
e. Use AFM performance penalty for Approach (Hi) Idle for

NOTE: Regardless of takeoff procedure used, engine(s) will


remain in approach (Hi) Idle during landing roll. At high
altitude airports with cold ambient temperatures, idle EPR as
high as 1.2 may be encountered. In order to minimize the
possibility of FOD, consideration should be given to stowing

GENERAL LIMITATIONS 1 0 JAN 2012


MD 80 MEL PROCEDURES MANUAL

This Configuration Deviation List contains additional certificate limitations for operations of the MD-80 airplane
without certain secondary airframe and engine parts as listed herein. The Limitations in the MD-80 Operations Manual
are applicable except as amended in this appendix.

The associated limitations must be listed on a placard affixed in the cockpit in clear view of the pilot in command and
other appropriate crew member(s).

Operation with those missing parts requiring a reduction of VMO/MMO is permitted only when the airplane has the air-
speed limit speed hand and the Mach airspeed warning system programmed for the altitude/speed schedule specified for
the applicable missing part.

The pilot in command will be notified of each operation with a missing part(s) by listing the missing part(s) in the
"Aircraft Log Book".

If an additional part is lost in flight the airplane may not depart the airport at which it landed following this event until it
again complies with the limitation of this appendix. This, of course, does not preclude the issuance of a ferry permit to
allow the airplane to be flown to a point where the necessary repairs or replacements can be made.
No more than one part for any one sub-system may be missing unless specifically designated combinations are
indicated.

Unless otherwise specified herein, parts from different sub-systems may be missing. The performance penalties are
cumulative unless specifically designated penalties for combination of missing parts are indicated.

Items identified as Group 1 items are those which, when missing, results in a small but negligible weight penalty. A
total of three items identified as Group 1 or other negligible items may be missing with no performance penalty. When
Group 1 or other negligible items in excess of three exist, the weight penalty of 40 kilograms per item is applied to
takeoff, enroute, and landing weights.

Takeoff performance decrements are applicable to takeoff gross weight which is limited by structural limit, field length,
first segment climb, second segment climb, final segment climb, or takeoff flight path.

Landing performance decrements are applicable to landing gross weights which are limited by structural limit, landing
field length, landing climb, or approach climb.

Enroute performance decrements are applicable to operations which are limited by one engine inoperative enroute climb
or driftdown requirements.

When a takeoff weight penalty is imposed, determine takeoff speeds at actual operating weight plus takeoff weight
penalty. Determine all other speeds at actual operating weight.

The parts within each system are identified by functional description and, when necessary, by subsystem part numbers.

All items that require a Maintenance Procedure, are identified with a "Maintenance Procedure" statement in the column
B "Remarks and/or Exceptions".

NOTE:

Weight reduction imposed throughout the Configuration Deviation List shall be applied to the Performance Limited
Weights shown in the following AOM Vol. 2 sections:

- Takeoff: Section 09-20 or "Runway Weight Limitations" table;


- Enroute: Section 09-30;
- Landing: Section 09-40 or "Runway Weight Limitations" table.
