About SKY SURE

An Aircraft Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is a document that specifies which equipment on an aircraft can be inoperative for the aircraft to still be considered airworthy. The MEL provides guidelines for operators regarding what items can be deferred for maintenance while still allowing the aircraft to operate safely.

1. Regulatory Compliance: The MEL is approved by the aviation regulatory authority (like the FAA in the United States) and must comply with regulations.
2. Operational Limitations: It outlines conditions under which the aircraft can be flown with inoperative equipment, including any operational limitations or restrictions.
3. Deferral Procedures: The MEL includes procedures for how to handle inoperative equipment, including any required inspections or placarding.
4. Safety Focus: The primary goal of the MEL is to maintain safety while providing flexibility in aircraft operations.
5. Type-Specific: Each aircraft type has its own MEL, tailored to the specific systems and equipment on that model.

The MEL is an essential tool for flight crews and maintenance personnel to ensure that flights can be conducted safely, even when certain equipment is not functioning
