I'm honored to have the next database update on my birthday.  :)

Reminders from Flight Standards:

MELs

If you have an MEL on your dispatched aircraft, be sure if it is a Dispatch Concur item it is added to, or removed from your release as needed.

Also, be sure you fully understand the MEL and how it will affect your flight.

Some MELs appear simple until you read it, and find there is more to it than you expected.

For Example: An A321 a Center Tank Transfer Valve can only be MEL'd closed if fuel in present in the tank. Double check that it is closed.  If the valve failed open, you can get into a severe out of balance condition as well as a fuel over flow situation very quickly.

If you view BlueBrief on a small mobile device it is best to use the Chrome Browser.  The stock Android browser and sometimes iPhone Safari, will not properly format the screens, etc.

Safari on the iPad seems to work just fine.
