The entry in the 'Action Taken' column of the Tech log should be annotated
'Defect carried forward in accordance with the MEL reference..... ADD No. ..... raised' this entry may be made by the operating crew or maintenance personnel
The ADD record pages must be suitably annotated with details of the defect and a time limit must be specified (date and time or remaining flight hours and/or cycles).
No Certificate of Release to Service is to be issued for the carried forward item until the defect has been cleared on a subsequent SRP.
Acceptance by the pilot
Where the MEL item has been entered by maintenance personnel, the decision to accept the carried forward item allowed by the MEL/CDL remains the responsibility of the pilot in command. This acceptance of any open deferred items is indicated by his/her signature on the SRP in the 'Captain's Acceptance' space
Management of the MEL Rectification Intervals (RI’s
The time limit for the defect rectification or “rectification interval” is specified in the MEL in Flight Hours/Cycles/Calendar Time (A,B,C or D)
so that the defect rectification may be performed before the specified MMEL limit.
