This page allows you to view the MEL position information defined for model configuration. Tell me more

The “View MEL Position Information” page appears.

The system displays the following fields in the “Model Details” group box:

Aircraft model

The aircraft model for which the MEL position information is displayed.

Aircraft Make

The manufacturer of the aircraft.

Zoom facility available.

The system displays the following fields in the “Configuration Class Details” group box:

Revision #

The revision number of the model configuration.

Configuration Class

The configuration class to which the aircraft model is associated.

Config. Status

The status of the configuration class which could be “Fresh”, “Active” or “Revised”.

The system displays the following fields in the “Part Details” group box:

MEL Item #

The number identifying the MEL item for which the position details are defined.

MEL Item Desc

The textual description of the MEL item

Zoom facility available.

Part #

The part selected in the ”View Minimum Equipment List” page, for which the position details are displayed.

MEL Quantity

The quantity of the selected part included in the minimum equipment list.

Part Description

The textual description of the part.

Zoom facility available.

The system displays the following fields in the “Position Details” multiline:

Level Code

The level at which the part is associated to this position code in the model configuration hierarchy.

Position Code

The position code to which the part has been associated in the model.

NHA

The next higher assembly or the parent part, to which the position code is attached.

Conditional ?

Indicates whether the part associated to the position code can remain in an unserviceable state, based on the certain conditions. The system displays either “Yes” or “No”.

Conditions

The conditions or the factors governing the usage of the part in an unserviceable state, when the part is associated to this position code.

Operational Procedures

The operational procedures of flying the aircraft with the part placed in the position code in an unserviceable state.

Maintenance Procedures

The maintenance procedures of flying the aircraft with the part placed in the position code in an unserviceable state.

Placard

Indicates whether a placard must be posted at the location of the MEL item. The system displays the options “Required” or “Not Required”.

Viewing MEL position information for model configuration – An overview

View Model Configuration -  A summary of the activity

In this page you can view the exact position codes, of the part selected in the View Minimum Equipment List” page, included in the MEL. The position code details are displayed in this page only when the MEL quantity is less than the total quantity specified for the part in the model.

The level code uniquely identifies the level at which the position code and the associated part number occur in the model configuration. Refer Figure 1 for an illustration of level code generation in the model configuration hierarchy.

The position code and the part number included in the minimum equipment list are displayed along with the level code. The system displays the conditions based on which the part associated to the position code can remain in an unserviceable state. The maintenance and operational implications of flying the aircraft with the part fitted in the position code in an unserviceable state is also displayed.
