NBAA: MEL Rule in Europe Stems from New Part NCC
“We are working with the FAA, ICAO and EASA to find a way forward,” said NBAA vice president of regulatory and international affairs Doug Carr.

Changes in rules affecting non-commercial business aircraft in Europe, known as Part NCC, have led to the requirement that U.S. Part 91 twin turboprops and jets flown in Europe operate with a Minimum Equipment List (MEL) approved by the FAA, said NBAA vice president of regulatory and international affairs Doug Carr. Previously, these operators were able to use a manufacturer’s aircraft model Master MEL (MMEL) approved by the FAA under LOA DO95.
