5 HGHLGHTS OF CHANGE tem Explanation This Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) has been reformatted in compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration, Joint Aircraft System/Component () Code Table, and is available for download or viewing at: ( V This replaces the former Airline Transport Association (ATA) coding used in previous documents. Coding is a four-digit number format and as the title suggests, it contains a System Code and a Component Code. The first two digits are the System Code which is similar to ATA Coding for their first two numbers. The last two digits in the Code is the Component Code which defines the specific component. The item number is a sequential number given for additional Components with the same Code. For Example: Code 2410, where Code 24 represents the Electrical Power system, and Component Code 10, represents the Alternator-Generator Drive system Added Policy Letter 116, Rev. 3, December 17, 2012 (NEF) Added Policy Letter 120, Rev. 1, January 20, 2009 (ELT) Added Policy Letter 29, Rev. 5, August 10, 2010 (CVR) Added Policy Letter 87, Rev. 5, August 10, 2010 (CVR/FDR) Added Policy Letter 127, Rev. 0, June 7, 2010 (NVS) Added Policy Letter 54, Rev. 10, October 31, 2005 (TAWS) Added Policy Letter 32, Rev. 7, July 7, 2006 (TCAS ) Added Policy Letter 32, Rev. 7, July 7, 2006 (TCAS ) Added Policy Letter 76, Rev. 5, March 24, 2008 (Transponders & AARS) Added Policy Letter 105, Rev. 1, January 20, 2009 (ADSB) Added Policy Letter 98, Rev. 0, January 20, 1999 (Navigation Databases) Flight Management System (FMS) Added Policy Letter 98, Rev. 0, January 20, 1999 (Navigation Databases) Navigation Management System (NMS)
