8 PIPER AIRCRAFT PAGE: VI REVISION: 02 JAN. 06, 2015 Introduction This Transport Canada MMEL constitutes a mandatory change to the FAA Approved MMEL for the Piper Models. This MMEL must be used in conjunction with the FAA Approved MMEL (Revision No. 10 or later applicable revision). The information contained herein supersedes the existing FAA Approved MMEL only for those items listed herein. For items not contained in this supplement, consult the FAA Approved MMEL. Operating and/or maintenance procedures referred to in this are the same as those supporting the FAA Approved MMEL unless otherwise indicated. Procedures required by the Transport Canada MMEL and not indicated in the FAA Approved MMEL must be provided by the operator. The FAA Approved MMEL has entries where the Remarks or Exceptions column makes reference to applicable regulations. Unless such an entry is superseded by an item in this, all references should be made to the applicable Canadian regulations. This MMEL uses the standard four column format as referenced in the Transport Canada MMEL/MEL Policy and Procedures Manual (TP 9155E). This MMEL supplement uses the same format, definitions and symbols as the FAA Approved MMEL. Items which have no MMEL relief (i.e. relief withdrawn) are not categorized.
