MEL time limit

[pinkhyppo]

Dear all,

What time interval does your company uses for different category of MEL items?

Mine:
A)-- as per specified in the MEL item
B)-- 3 days
C)-- 10 days
D)-- 120 days

each day is 24 hour midnight to midnight, UTC.

Cheers:ok:

Keep in mind that the starting point for developing MELs is the MMEL from the relevant NAA and the time limit groupings come from the MMEL processes. You can have a look at the US documents here (http://www.opspecs.com/AFSDATA/MMELs/Final/transport/). It is worth having a look over the MMEL for your Type of interest as there is a lot of useful background gen therein ..

In my company the MEL limits are similar as you list but hard not defined Time Vs Category A, B, or C for all defects.The MELs are derived from the MMEL There is a preamble in the front of our MEL book which explains alot and is well worth reading by engineers and pilots alike....

A, B, C the same as stated, however we reduced D from 120 to 60 so as to get DD's cleared/worked quicker.
