Does you airline make you fly planes with lots of MELs?

What you see there is a case of one MEL affecting a few other things. Both FMCs actually work there. The primary MEL there is the right fuel guage. If it's acting up it affects the weight and fuel computations in the FMC which in turn dis-allows you to use VNAV. What you see there isn't four seperate failures. Just one which in turn had an affect on three other things.

Thanks for the clarification.

Frankly I wouldn't consier 4 MEL's "lots." I've flown with 7, and I'm sure many have seen more.

I've only seen around 4 total in nearly 5 years.

You have the write things up in the first place to get MEL's...not carry them all the way to your overnight....

Ah, but more than a grain of truth.

Approximately triple your max number. No big thaing.

Seven on a Beech? You can get that many easily with just cockpit lighting alone, before you even get to your: no parking brake, nws inop, pressurization inop, tcas inop, flaps inop, vcm specials.

Annunciator Power Source spikes the count, it also buys you Cab Alt Hi, Cab Diff Hi, and Pressurization.

If it's my "Freedom Leg" I'll take as many as I can as long as it gets me home.
