1.1 Introduction
16 Original FEB2010
This Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is based on the F.A.A. Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) 02/02/98 revision 4a. This MEL takes into consideration XXXX XXXX (XXXX) particular aircraft equipment, configuration and operational conditions, routes flown and requirements eventually set by the Airworthiness Authority either Portuguese or by the FAA. This MEL does not deviate from any applicable Airworthiness Directive or any other Mandatory Requirement and is no less restrictive than the MMEL. The present MEL is intended to permit operations with inoperative items of equipment for a period of time until the applicable rectifications are accomplished. Rectifications are to be accomplished at the earliest opportunity. The present MEL Conditions and Limitations do not exempt the Pilot in Command from determining that the aircraft is in condition for safe operation with specified unserviceabilities allowed by the MEL. The provisions of the present MEL are applicable until the aircraft commences the applicable flight. Any decision to continue a flight following a failure or unserviceability which becomes apparent after the commencement of a flight must be the subject of Pilot in Command judgement. The Pilot in Command may continue to make reference to and use of the MEL as appropriate. By approval of the present MEL, the Airworthiness Autority permit dispatch of the BE 76 Aircraft to perform the XXXX activities flights with certain items or components inoperative, provided an acceptable level of safety is maintained by the use of appropriate operational or maintenance procedures; or by transfering the function to another operating component; or by referencing to other instruments or components which provide the required information. This MEL is mandatory at XXXX for Instructors Pilots as well as for Students namely undergoing solo flights. The MEL is part of each BE 76 aircraft documentation and is provided individually to each Pilot and is available permanently in XXXX intranet. including to the Maintenance Organisation responsible for the aircraft.
Note:For dispatch with airframe or engine parts missing, refer to the CONFIGURATION
DEVIATION LIST (CDL).

Edition Original
The decision of the Pilot in Command to have allowable inoperative items corrected prior to flight prevails over the provisions contained in the MEL. In this respect, notwithstanding the content of this MEL, the PIC may request on his own discretion to have duly functional certain MEL items, which at the time of fligh preparation need to operative, thus ensuring flight safety and/or enable certaing flight training activities. The MEL does take into account multiple equipemnts unserviceable. Therefore, any decision to dispatch BE 76 aircraft with multiple MEL inoperative items, must be thoroughly assessed to verify that any interrelationship between inoperative items will not result in a degradation of the flight safety and/or unnecessary increase in crew workload. It is respect, a good judgment is essential, with good assessment of the relevant circumstances, including climatic and en-route conditions associated with the flight training.

(Column 5) Remarks or Exceptions in this column includes a statement either prohibiting or permitting operation with a specific number of items inoperative, provisions (conditions and limitations) for such operation, and appropriate notes. A vertical bar (change bar) in the margin indicates a change, addition or deletion in the adjacent text for the current revision of that page only. The change bar is dropped at the next revision of that page. When MEL shows a variable quantity required for dispatch, the MEL must reflect the actual Quantity Required for dispatch or an alternate means of configuration control approved by XXXX. 19 Original FEB2010

g) Alphabetical symbol in Column 4 indicates a provision (condition or limitation) that must be complied with for operation with the listed item inoperative. h) Inoperative means a system and/or component malfunction to the extent that it does not accomplish its intended purpose and/or is not consistently functioning normally within its approved operating limit(s) or tolerance(s). i) Notes in Column 5 provides additional information for crew member or for maintenance staff. Notes are used to identify applicable material which is intended to assist with compliance, but do not exempt XXXX of the responsibility for compliance with all applicable requirements. Notes are not a part of the provisions. Inoperative components of an inoperative system:

(1) Inoperative items which are components of a system which is inoperative are usually considered components directly associated with and having no other function than to support that system. (Warning/caution systems associated with the inoperative system must be operative unless exemption is specifically authorized per the aircraft MMEL.. k) (M) symbol indicates a requirement for a specific maintenance procedure which must be accomplished prior to operation with the listed item inoperative. Normally these procedures are accomplished by maintenance personnel; however, other personnel may be qualified and authorized to perform certain functions. Procedures requiring specialized knowledge or skill, or requiring the use of tools or test equipment should be accomplished by maintenance personnel. The sactisfactory accomplishment of all maintenance procedures, regardless of who performs them, is the required to be published as part of XXXX BE 76 MEL.. 20 Original FEB2010 (O) symbol indicates a requirement for a specific operations procedure which must be accomplished in planning for and/or operating with the listed item inoperative. Normally these procedures are accomplished by the flight crew; however, other personnel may be qualified and authorized to perform certain functions. The sactisfactory accomplishment of all procedures, regardless of who performs them, is the responsibility of the operator. Appropriate procedures are required to be published as a part of the XXXX BE 76 MEL.
l)
m) The (M) and (O) symbols are required in the operators MEL unless otherwise authorized by XXXX Director of Exploitation. n) Deactived and Secure means that the specified component must be put into an acceptable condition for safe flight. An acceptable method of securing or deactivating will be established by XXXX. o) Visual Flight Rules (VFR) is as defined in Operations Manual of XXXX, Part C (Page C-41 in Weather Minima for Flight Instructors and Page C-5-1 in Weather Minima for Students) and EASA 1899 OPS 1.465. p) Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) means that the atmospheric environment is such that would allow a flight to proceed under the visual flight rules applicable to the flight. This does not preclude operating under Instrument Flight Rules. q) Visible Moisture means an atmospheric environment containing water in any form that can be seen in natural or artifical light; for example, clouds, for, rain, sleet, hail or snow. r) Repair Intervals: Inoperative items or components, deferred in accordance with the MEL, must be rectified at or prior to the rectification intervals established by the following letter designators given in the Column 2 Cat of the MEL: s) Administrative Control Item means an item listed by XXXX in the MEL for tracking and informational purposes; t) *** symbol in Column 1 indicates an item which is not required by regulation but which may have been installed on some Cessna aircraft covered by this MEL, operated by XXXX.
u) This document nor the use of the symbol defined in 7.22 provide authority to XXXX remove a MEL item from an aircraft.

v) Day of Finding is the calendar day an equipment/instrument malfunction was recorded in the aircraft maintenance log and or record, known at XXXX as RTB. This day is excluded from the calendar days or flight days specified in the MEL for the repair of an inoperative item of equipment. This provision is applicable to all MEL items, i.e., categories A, B, C and D.
