A320 MEL
Hello Fellow Aviators,
I am a newbie to A320. I want to know more about the application of MEL on A320. Suppose in flight I get ECAM >
NAV ADS-B RPTG 1 FAULT
NAV ADS-B RPTG 2 FAULT
essentially both ADS-B Reporting systems have failed.
Then I applied OEBs - None // Tech Notices - None // ECAM - No Actions listed // QRH - Nothing in Abnormal PROC // Comp Reset - No System Reset Related to ADS-B OUT //
FCOM Procedure says ATC/XPDR…SYS 2(1) however this is only for a Single system failure.
Now I go to MEL 34-50-10 ADS-B OUT Function
34-50-10A Not required for the intended route
34-50-10B Required for the intended route
In this, I apply 34-50-10 B which specifies that for airspace I am flying in it requires ADS-B Out functionality if I am flying RVSM.
So do I need to Vacate RVSM?
My understanding is MEL is applicable only ON GROUND from Door Closure till application of take-off Power. Then why would I refer and apply MEL in the air?
