1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose

The following describes the procedure to track Acceptable Deferred Defects in the RAL application. 1.2 Overview

Every operator needs to have a procedure for deferring the rectification of defects where this is permitted by the Minimum equipment list of the aircraft. The airworthiness authority expects the operator to transfer a defect which can be carried forward under MEL to the acceptable deferred defect list and track the same. This document educates the user on how to transfer, track, rectify and close ADDs.

Alternatively it is possible to enter/ override the ADD reference. Select a status of deferred and ensure that the appropriate Text/ MEL category is entered. The Defect Item number should refer to the Tech Log Item number. The Carried out Reg Journey and carried out by fields must be filled in.

2.2 ADD Process where material is required It is highly likely that material will be requested at the Line station prior to the Tech Log/ Journey code number being known or to the Tech Log being deferred. In this case the following procedure should be adopted a) Raise a quick requisition for the required material. This can be done from the part inquiries screen. This can be reached from Engineering>Line Maintenance> Part enquiries
