Introduction

This Transport Canada MMEL Supplement constitutes a mandatory change to the FAA Approved MMEL for the Bell 212/412.

This MMEL Supplement must be used in conjunction with the FAA Approved MMEL (Revision 8 or later applicable revision).

The information contained herein supersedes the existing FAA MMEL only for those items listed herein. For items not contained in this supplement, consult the FAA Approved MMEL.

Operating and/or maintenance procedures referred to in this supplement are the same as those supporting the FAA MMEL unless otherwise indicated. Procedures required by the Transport Canada MMEL Supplement and not indicated in the FAA Approved MMEL must be provided by the operator.

The FAA MMEL has entries where the “Remarks or Exemptions” column makes reference to applicable regulations. Unless such an entry is superseded by an item in this supplement, all references should be made to the applicable Canadian regulations.

This MMEL Supplement uses the standard four column format and symbols as referenced in the Transport Canada MMEL/MEL Policy and Procedures Manual (TP9155E).

This MMEL supplement uses the same format, definitions and symbols as the FAA MMEL. Items which have no MMEL relief (i.e. relief withdrawn) are not categorized.
