MEL caution/warning section
For some caution/warning there is false/actual position. Could anybody explain me this in a way of easy understanding, because MEL explanation is not enough for me.

MEL 320 has chapter CAUTION/WARNING MESSAGES. This chapter helps identify easily respective MEL reference page. But smtms I see two references for the same caution/warning: false caution - refer to....; actual caution - refer to ....

Boroda, as the name suggests. If it's a false warning treat it as one, if it's real treat it as real. Digital airplane implies sometimes that warnings are triggered without actual conditions being met.

(M)MEL states in preamble that it should be used after troubleshooting not instead of it. So, by the time you open the book, one already knows whether you face a system malfunction or false indication. For some problems, a qualified engineer is requried to distigusih between the two. Correct?

It should be clear from the MEL item Tech Log entry whether it is a fault or a false indication - pilots do not decide that, engineers do. (Except in flight of course - confirm failure on SD/FAULT light before ECAM actions).

One way I use to check if a warning was spurious is to select the CFD function and select CURRENT LEG ECAM, if the warning you received does not record, then I assume it's false or spurious.
