  operation. POHs and owner/information manuals contain a section devoted to a systematic method of performing a preflight inspection. Minimum Equipment Lists (MEL) and Operations With Inoperative Equipment Under 14 CFR, all aircraft instruments and installed equipment are required ... operative prior to each departure. When the FAA adopted the minimum equipment list (MEL) concept for 14 CFR part 91 operations, it allowed aircraft to be operated with inoperative equipment determined to be nonessential for safe flight. At the same…

  controlling the aircraft, which could lead to a loss of control in-flight. Equipage The avionics and other equipment installed in an aircraft affect both utility and the ease with which a pilot can identify hazards. Equipment considerations include: • Redundancy ... Could equipment failure affect the type of flight contemplated? For example, on a day VFR flight in Class E airspace, having only a single navigation/communication radio is not a major concern. However, for a flight in IMC, having one radio…
