Feature Article: Operating Without a MEL (Minimum Equipment List)

Minimum Equipment List

Most older aircraft have been certified without a MEL but everything operational when the aircraft was certified must be operational for flight--including the cigarette lighter and tire pressure.

Without an MEL any inoperative item must be removed or deactivated and then placarded. A certificated mechanic must do the work, adjust the weight and balance, complete FAA Form 337 and approve for return to service.
