What does MEL define for dispatch?

What does MEL define for dispatch?

• A. Maximum payload.
• B. Preferred routing.
• C. Backup electrical power specs.
• D. Permissible inoperative equipment and any restrictions.

Answer: (D)

Minimum Equipment List defines what equipment may be inoperative for dispatch and the restrictions that come with that deferral. It specifies which items can be left unserviceable, the allowable time limits to repair them, and any operational limitations or procedures that must be followed while the flight is dispatched. This is why the correct concept is about permissible inoperative equipment and any restrictions. Other options refer to payload, routing, or power specifications, which are not what the MEL governs for dispatch.
