D195 MEL
Authorization Support
Aircraft-specific MEL support for Part 91 operators
who need practical dispatch flexibility without
compromising compliance discipline.
WHY MEL MATTERS
Flexibility you can rely on.
The D195 Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) allows
certain inoperative items to be deferred, restoring dispatch
options and reducing costly disruptions - when used within
the rules and with a sound operatinal plan.
Keep mission moving.
Reduce AOG risk and preserve schedules with approved deferrals.
Stay compliant.
Operate within 14 CFR Part 91
and the D195 MMEL with
proper authorization.
Lower operating cost.
Avoid unnecessary maintenance
and position aircraft for the
most efficient outcome.
Defensible Decisions
Documented, repeatable
processes that stand up to
audit and scrutiny
WHAT MMEL-AS-MEL MEANS
Use the MMEL -
the right way.
Under Part 91.213(d), operators can use the manufacturer's
MMEL as their MEL when it is properly incorporated and
authorized. That requires more than a manual on the shelf -
it requires an operator specific MEL, clear procedures, and a
well trained team.

COMMON OPERATOR PAIN POINTS
Unclear what's allowed
Inconsistent decisions
Poor documentation
Time pressure
Maintenance pushback
Confusion about which
deferrals are permitted
and under what conditions
Different outcomes for
similar issues across
pilots and shifts
Missing or incomplete
records that create risk
during audits.
Operational pressure leads
to workarounds instead
of proper process.
Disagreements on
deferrals and return-
to-service criteria.
