NOTICE

The Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for aircraft certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency and operated under jurisdiction of EASA member states National Authorities. This Master Minimum Equipment List Operation and Maintenance Procedures Manual contains only the items from the Master Minimum Equipment List which have Operational (O) or Maintenance (M) procedure requirements. Cessna does not support Minimum Equipment List items not published in the MMEL.

Cessna’s policy is to revise this manual only to accommodate changes to a new MMEL revision, which requires a change to, or a new, Operational (O) or Maintenance (M) required procedure. If a revised MMEL is released, but does not affect any required procedure, the Operational and Maintenance manual will not be revised at that time. Cessna reserves the right to make format changes without generating a new revision.

Operational (O) and Maintenance (M) procedures in this manual are recommended by Textron Aviation. Most of the procedures in this guide have been approved in some MEL’s. This document is not JAA/EASA approved, but is intended to aid operators in writing and gain approval for their specific Minimum Equipment List (MEL). The Operator is responsible to ensure that all crew members are properly trained in the use of MEL (O) and (M) procedures.

NOTES

For all provisos – Unless the proviso requires a system to be verified, it is assumed that all other systems are operative and no action is required to test these systems.

Where ever a dash (-) is listed in Column 2: Number Installed or Column 3: Number Required for Dispatch, it is the responsibility of the operator to replace the dash (-) with the actual number of each item, if any, installed on the aircraft in question.

The operator must make an appropriate entry in the discrepancy report for each inoperative item.

The diagrams, drawings and/or pictures in this document may not reflect all possible installations. Refer to the aircraft equipment list, continuous history report and/or STC for current installed equipment.

The maintenance procedures in this document may be different than those found in the current revision of the Cessna Maintenance Manual for the associated aircraft model. In the event of conflict, use the more restrictive maintenance procedure to accomplish the task.

PLACARDING REQUIREMENTS

When relief is taken for an item listed in a MMEL or operator’s MEL, regulations require the operator to placard the item or system as inoperative or missing. The following guidelines are designed to assist operators with placarding inoperative or missing items or systems. Operators may develop alternate procedures for placarding inoperative or missing items or systems.

Placards should be placed above, adjacent to or on the associated / affected control (annunciator, circuit breaker, switch, button, gauge, indicator, knob or light).

Pre-manufactured “INOP” or “INOPERATIVE” placards may be used at the discretion of the operator.

For missing items or systems, the placard should include text which specifies the component that is missing.

If the inoperative item or system is not within view of the flight crew, an additional placard should be placed on the instrument panel in view of the flight crew. The placard should include text which specifies the component that is inoperative

If the relief for an item or system includes limitations on aircraft operations, an additional placard should be placed on the instrument panel in view of the flight crew. The placard should include text which states the limitation. If the limitation contracts a permanent placard installed in the cockpit as a part of the certified aircraft, the placard should be placed adjacent to the permanent placard. For example, a placard restricting VMO should be placed near the MAX OPERATING SPEED placard. Examples of common limitations on aircraft operations are:

·  OPERATIONS IN IMC ARE PROHIBITED

·  FLIGHT INTO ICING IS PROHIBITED

·  OPERATIONS AT NIGHT ARE PROHIBITED

·  CARRIAGE OF CABIN OCCUPANTS IS PROHIBITED

·  CARRIAGE OF CARGO (EXCLUDING BALLAST) IS PROHIBITED

·  SINGLE-PILOT OPERATIONS ARE PROHIBITED

For indications shown on an electronic display, the placard should be placed adjacent to or on the bezel of the display and should include text which specifies the indication that is inoperative. The placard should NOT be placed on the display as this may obstruct the view of other indications in alternate or reversionary modes. This also applies to specific software functions or items within a system such as a Flight Management System (FMS) Navigation Database.

Placards installed on equipment used by cabin passengers should include text such as “DO NOT USE” if the item or system is deactivated. For example, a vanity basin with an inoperative drain should include a placard stating “DO NOT POUR LIQUIDS INTO BASIN”. Make sure the placard can be easily understood by all passengers. Consider any passengers whose primary language is not the same as the placard’s language.

Items or systems which have external access such as a baggage door or refueling panel should include a placard on the exterior side of the door or on the interior side provided it is prominently in view when accessed. The placard should include text specifying the item or system that is inoperative and / or states limitations on aircraft operations.

Placard text should be of appropriate size, font and color so that it can be easily read. Placards placed on the exterior of the aircraft should be made of materials that will not degrade or depart the aircraft, such as aerodynamic tape and permanent marker.

Placarding does NOT satisfy the requirement to make an appropriate entry in the discrepancy report for an inoperative or missing item or system.
