NBAA Asks FAA To Drop New Expired Nav Database Policy
The FAA's proposed policy change would eliminate the ability to defer expired navigation databases using the MEL process.

The FAA has proposed a revision of Master Minimum Equipment List Policy Letter-98, Navigation Databases (MMEL PL-98) that would eliminate the ability of operators to defer updating of expired navigation databases in accordance with a minimum equipment list. This capability is useful when operators are on multi-week trips in areas of the world where updates are difficult or impossible to accomplish due to lack of qualified facilities and limited Internet access.
