Viewing configuration deviation list - An overview
In this page you can view the list of secondary parts, which do not affect the normal flying of the aircraft. This list denotes that the aircraft can still fly without these parts, or with these parts in defective condition. A list of these secondary parts is contained in the configuration deviation list (CDL). The CDL explains the maintenance and operational implications of flying the aircraft without each of these secondary parts. This information can be used for validating the aircraft configuration for the issue of the flight release certificate (FRC). This may also be used as a reference document in the maintenance and operation of the aircraft.
