Yes you can because many « No dispatch » conditions are extremely conservative. And if you are outstation with no maintenance, you happy that you can legally proceed. I mean come on, modern airliners have so many redundancies. So if I understand correctly you would not go if you lose 1 computer out of 3 on a an A320 cause Mel says no dispatch but would happily fly a Cessna 172 relying on one engine? xD. I’m obviously not talking about hydraulic or serious failure that is a no brainer to go back. Once again it’s all about good judgement and airmanship.
