Yr right, I usually refrain from personal criticisms here, but really, to have us believe that one suffering a dyslexic condition could write a MEL is stretching it.
I can not imagine how CASA could accept it, if the clarity of your posts here, and general understanding of a quite simple CAO are anything to go by. And as an aside, the person who accepts or rejects a MEL item on the day is the pilot, not the engineer. His role may be to interpret and write it up, but if the pilot has other reasons for not accepting it, it's game over.
Creampuff and others here demonstrate a fine legal understanding of the concept of allowable dispatch at a lower level of operation when items are missing or unserviceable - you do seem to lack that same comprehension.
If Civil Aviation Orders, CASRs etc are not 'IAW' (whatever you take that abbreviation to mean) then WTF is?
And what do you mean by 'lbs'. Pounds? If you mean logbooks, hey aren't they a service record of an airframe, engine etc. Surely what's on the certificate of airworthiness determines the category?
