E. The Maintenance Controller will contact the down line UTAIR maintenance station by phone or message or both, explaining what item(s) were deferred, what corrective action will be necessary, and to enter the deferral information into log page(s) in accordance with UTAIR established procedure.
4. MAINTENANCE ACTION
Every effort shall be made by maintenance to correct all technical irregularities as early as practicable and that the airplane be released from maintenance base in fully operational condition. The decision of the captain to comply with the appropriate MEL requirement and to postpone maintenance activity will supersede any other intention. The captain must be informed by maintenance as soon as practicable, should it be impossible to repair the inoperative item prior to departure.
If any of the aircraft instruments, equipment or system repeatedly fails during the first four flights after rectification, MEL item will be applied once again only in order to return an aircraft to base station or to the station where any approved maintenance organization is available.
NOTE: The provisions of the MEL are applicable until the airplane commences the flight. Failures occurred after the entry doors have been closed shall be carefully assessed by the flight crew taking into account the MEL and all other relevant factors related to the intended flight.
