I can’t remember flying an aicraft in the last decade or so that didn’t have a couple of ’open’ unserviceabilities in the MR and stuff placarded. As pointed out earlier, if a piece of equipment is not required for the category of flight in which an aicraft is engaged and it’s been placarded and entered unserviceable in the MR, that’s fine. So much depends on whether it’s private or aerial work or charter or RPT and whether there’s an approved MEL etc, etc.
