MMEL Status

Effectivity: Global aircraft

ATA 00

Transport Canada (TC) has recently released a new version of the Global 7500 Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL). This new revision reflects Bombardier’s continuing effort to improve the availability of the Global 7500 fleet and is now available from the TC website. The current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) MMEL continues to be available on the FAA web sites, whereas the current European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) MMEL is available from Bombardier’s customer portal. This article highlights the major changes made to the TC MMEL. The MMELs are accessible through the Bombardier Customer Portal.
