Exactly my point.
MEL 27-4 states that fwd panel lts or annunciator panel maybe inoperative.It expands further regarding what to do in case the fwd panel lights are Inop.
MEL 27-4-5 talks about the leading edge slats indications .Maintenance says this MEL applies only in case fwd panel lts are u/s, then only one slat light maybe inoperative.It restricts level to 300/.65 and FL 280.
If either MEL applies, I am still unable to differentiate if one or more slats are extended.For one slat I am permitted 300/.65 ,for more than one I have to fly 230 kts as per the QRH.Since I am unable to differentiate I would have to fly 230kts in case of a LE laps transit light. Should I not cater for additional fuel as this is at dispatch.
My doubt with the MEL is would Boeing leave all this unsaid????
