The LMER is a list established for a specific type of aircraft by the design organization, with the approval of the state of design. It enumerates the elements that may be inoperative at the start of a flight, potentially associated with special operating conditions, restrictions, or procedures.
The LME ensures the safe operation of an aircraft under specified conditions, even if certain equipment is inoperative. If a malfunction is not listed in the LME/MEL, the flight is not authorized.
The LME is established by the operator and must comply with the LMER for that type of aircraft or be more restrictive.
The arrêté N°1390-02 regulates the technical conditions of operation related to the general and specific equipment of an aircraft used by an air service operator.
It is applicable to the operator within the territory of the Kingdom of Morocco and in any other location according to the regulations of the state overflown.
Passengers are classified into three categories: adults (12 years and older), children (aged 2 years or more but less than 12), and infants (under 2 years old).
The maximum number of passengers is set by official authorities based on information provided by the manufacturer during certification.
Emergency exits are designed to facilitate the rapid evacuation of occupants in case of an emergency. They must be demonstrably usable within 90 seconds for half of the available exits.
The LEC/CDL lists the structural defects that are authorized before an aircraft can depart for flight. It is generally published in the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM).
Maintenance of aircraft is crucial to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with regulatory standards. It involves regular inspections, repairs, and updates to equipment.
The Direction de l'Aéronautique Civile is responsible for approving the Liste minimale des équipements (LME) established by the operator for each aircraft type or variant.
The LME and associated operating conditions must be included in the operating manual (MANEX) to ensure compliance and safety during operations.
If equipment is listed as inoperative in the LME, the aircraft can still operate under specified conditions. However, if a malfunction is not listed, the flight cannot proceed.
The LME must be equal to or more restrictive than the LMER, ensuring that all necessary safety measures are in place for the operation of the aircraft.
Crew members are classified into two categories: the flight crew (PNT) and the cabin crew (PNC), both of whom are essential for the safe operation of the aircraft.
Special operating conditions in the LMER provide guidelines for safe operation when certain equipment is inoperative, ensuring that safety is maintained during flights.
The LME contributes to flight safety by ensuring that all necessary equipment is operational or that appropriate measures are in place when certain equipment is inoperative.
The AFM provides essential information about the aircraft's performance, limitations, and operational procedures, including the LEC/CDL for managing inoperative equipment.
An air service operator is responsible for ensuring that all aircraft equipment meets regulatory standards and is maintained according to the established LME and LMER.
The classification of passengers is influenced by age, with adults being 12 years and older, children being between 2 and 12 years, and infants being under 2 years.
The state of design plays a crucial role in approving the LMER, ensuring that the list of inoperative elements aligns with safety standards and operational regulations.
