Questions and answers

Does the MESL determine whether an aerospace vehicle is safe to fly?

The MESL does not determine airworthiness or "safety-of-flight": Do not use the MESL to gauge "go/no-go" decisions. (paragraph 2)

When is an aerospace vehicle classified as NMC flyable?

The maintenance status NMC flyable (Condition status codes K, L, M, N, P) will be used when an aerospace vehicle cannot accomplish the unit’s wartime, training, or test mission, but is still flyable (safe for flight). (paragraph 2)

Can an NMC flyable aerospace vehicle be deployed?

A NMC flyable aerospace vehicle may be deployed as long as it can be returned to MC status (FMC or PMC) at the deployed site. (paragraph 2)

What status should be reported when a meteorological system’s data acquisition unit is inoperative?

If the data acquisition unit (data logger) is inoperative, report system NMC (Red). (paragraph 1-3)

What status applies when a weather radar cannot transmit imagery or data but can display targets locally?
