Introduction
This Transport Canada MMEL Supplement constitutes a mandatory change to the EASA Accepted MMEL for the AS350.
This MMEL Supplement must be used in conjunction with the EASA Accepted MMEL (Revision No. 4 or later applicable revision).
The information contained herein supersedes the existing EASA Accepted MMEL only for those items listed herein. For items not contained in this supplement, consult the EASA MMEL.
Operating and/or maintenance procedures referred to in this supplement are the same as those supporting the EASA MMEL unless otherwise indicated. Where there are no procedures provided by the manufacturer, it will be the responsibility of the operator to develop adequate procedures.
The EASA MMEL has entries where the ”Remarks or Exceptions” column states ”as required by regulations”. Unless such an entry is superseded by an item in this Supplement, all references should be made to the applicable Canadian regulation.
This MMEL Supplement uses the four column format as referenced in the Transport Canada MMEL/MEL Policy and Procedures Manual (TP 9155E). The same definitions and symbols as are used in the DGAC MMEL are applicable. Items which have no MMEL relief (i.e. relief withdrawn) are not categorized.
