ORGANIZATION OF THE MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
By authorization of the MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST (MEL), the DGAC (Directorate General of Airworthiness
Certification) of Indonesia permits dispatch of the aircraft for revenue and training flights with certain items or
components inoperative provided an acceptable level of safety is maintained by appropriate operation, by a
transfer of function to another operating component, or by reference to other instruments providing the
required information.
Notes:
ο The provisions of the MEL are applicable until the aircraft commences the flight. As soon as the aircraft is
moving under its own power, it is usually considered that the flight has commenced, which means that
MEL does not apply.
However, the decision to fly is left to the PiC who may decide for operational or even economical reasons
to repair the aircraft at the departure airport.
ο For dispatch with secondary airframe or engine parts missing, refer to the CONFIGURATION DEVIATION
LIST (CDL) following this MEL.
ο If dispatch with performed with technical irregularities, SUB Maintenance Base shall be informed.
CONTENTS
The contents of this manual are divided into five parts:
(1) Preamble
Contains the control page and general information on the manual
(2) Minimum Equipment List

Contains the DGAC approved list of equipment that may be inoperative for aircraft dispatch
and/or clearly specified NO GO items if necessary.
(3) Operational Procedures

When a MEL item calls for a flight crew action, a procedure is described in this part.
(4) Maintenance procedures

When a MEL item calls for a maintenance action, a procedure from the AMM (Aircraft
Maintenance Manual) is described in this section.
(5) Configuration Deviation List

Contains the DGAC approved list of secondary airframe or engine cowl parts that may be
missing for aircraft dispatch.
Equipment obviously basic to aircraft airworthiness such as wings, rudders, flaps, engines, landing gear, etc. is
not listed and shall be operative for all flights.
It is important to note that:

ALL ITEM WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE AIRWORTHINESS OF THE AIRCRAFT AND NOT INCLUDED
ON THE LIST ARE AUTOMATICALLY REQUIRED TO BE OPERATIVE.
Equipment obviously not required for safe operation of the aircraft such as galley equipment, passenger
convenience items, etc is not listed.

MEL-DHC 6
PREAMBLE
CRITERIA FOR DISPATCH

The decision of the PIC to have allowable inoperative items corrected prior to flight will take precedence over the
provisions contained in the MEL. The PIC may request requirements above the minimum listed, whenever in his
judgement such added equipment is essential to the safety of a particular flight under the special conditions
prevailing at the time, however, he shall never accept requirements below.
Before dispatching an aircraft with multiple MEL items inoperative, it shall be checked that any interface or
interrelationship between inoperative items will not result in a degradation in the level of safety and/or an
undue increase in crew workload. It is particularly in this area of multiple discrepancies and especially discre-
pancies in related systems, that good judgement, based on the circumstances of the case Including climatic
and route conditions must be used.
Whenever the PIC and/or the respective maintenance staff have any doubt concerning the application of the
MEL, the MEL Control Board shall be contacted. It consists of SUMMOMZ and OC (Chief Pilot Type). Taking
into account all relevant factors it will then release a recommendation to the PIC.
CREW ACTION
Aircraft Dispatch
Whenever malfunctions are not completely cleared prior to dispatch, the flight crew shall verify whenever a
dispatch is permitted according to the MEL.
Even if new malfunctions fall into the repair internal category “A” and immediate maintenance action is not
required, the crew nevertheless shall inform maintenance as soon as possible.
Completion of Flight
Malfunctions encountered during last fight shall be checked whether they fall into the repair interval category “A”.
If so, the MEL reference shall be entered in the AML. These “A” category items and any items required to be
operative for all flight (“no-go items) shall be reported to maintenance as soon as possible.
MAINTENANCE ACTION
The MEL is intended to permit operation with equipment inoperative for that period of time necessary to organize
repairs.
The MEL definitely is not intended as a tool for prolonged or even permanent operation of airplanes in a
configuration deviating from certification status.
Therefore every effort shall be made by maintenance to correct all technical irregularities as early as
practicable and that the aircraft be released from maintenance base in fully operation condition so that the
effected aircraft can be returned to its certification status. In order to maintain this level, the MEL establishes
limitations on the duration of operation with operative equipment (see DEFINITIONS, “Repair Interval
Categories”, and REPAIR INTERVAL OVERRUN).
The decision of the PIC to comply with the appropriate MEL requirement and to postpone maintenance activity
will supersede any other intention. The PIC shall be informed by maintenance as soon as practicable, should it
be impossible to repair inoperative equipment prior to departure.

MEL-DHC 6
PREAMBLE
Whenever an aircraft is released by maintenance for dispatch with equipment inoperative, the following is
required:
The Aircraft Maintenance Log (AML) aboard the aircraft shall contain a detailed description of the inoperative
equipment including the repair interval category from the MEL, the MEL reference (e.g. “21-1”), the time of
AML sign-off, special advice to the flight crew, and if necessary, information about corrective action taken.
When they are accessible to the crew in flight, the control(s) and/or indicator(s) related to inoperative
equipment shall be clearly placarded.
If inadvertent operation could produce a hazard, such equipment shall be rendered inoperative (physically) as
given in the appropriate Maintenance Procedure.
REPAIR INTERVAL OVERRUN

If exeptional cases exceedance of any repair interval is unavoidable, it is permited for one time extension of
the aplicable interval for the same duration.
Issue MWR with these following conditions:

- Approved by member of MCB (SUBMOMZ, JKTOFMZ and JKTORMZ)
- Obtain an estimate delivery date of part from the supplier / vendor in the MEL Control Board (MCB) form.
- Make coordination with JKTORMZ for further repair schedule.
- Attach the MWR Form in to the Aircraft Maintenance Log.
This repair time interval overrun only valid for Category B & C.
Any inoperative items shall be inserted in Aircraft Maintenance Log (AML) as Hold Items List (HIL), and
SUBMOMZ shall give notice to JKTDOMZ, JKTDEMZ, JKTDFMZ and JKTOFMZ.
SUBMOMZ (Surabaya Maintenance Control Center) shall maintain a record of such extensions and JKTDSMZ
responsible for report to the DGAC (Directorate of Airworthiness Certification).
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. The permission for such a flight, however, shall be requested from
the MEL Control Board.
THE FOLLOWING SYMBOLS ARE USED:
An ”*” Asterisk symbol in column 5 indicates that the inoperative component or system is to be
appropriately placarded.
An “(M)” requires an appropriate Maintenance Procedure to be established, published and
complied with if the flight is to be dispatched with the referenced item inoperative. (APP.
2)
An “(O)” requires an appropriate Operations Procedure to be established published and complied
with if the flight is to be dispatched with the referenced item inoperative. (APP. 1)
An “(-)” Dash in column 3 indicates a variable quantity.
