Vfr Mel

[drinkduff77]

You stated that "Everything on the airplane is required to be working", which is not true. I then highlighted the applicable regulation that states which things (VFR day requirements and stuff on the required equipment list) are required to be working when you don't have an MEL and what you have to do to be legal to fly it (placard and deactivate, blah blah blah). I highlighted everything BUT the MEL stuff, where you got that I hightlight "a bunch of MEL stuff", I'm not sure.

Maybe it's your use of the word "deferred" in your original post that threw me but I've usually only used that in association with an MEL. Not saying your wrong in using it, I just misunderstood.

I think we all agree in the original poster's misuse of the term "VFR MEL" though.

i don't think we're in disagreement here.

That's why I said

I'm going to disagree, but only a little bit.

i should have elaborated a little but i figured it was implied. what i meant is that everything is required to be working, but if something is not working the flight can be continued depending on the which equipment is inop and if the proper mx procedure is followed.

sort of the same wording as the answer to the question- when are you supposed to file an alternate when flying IFR? A: always . . except when the weather is yada, yada, yada.

. . . and sorry, you were right. there were not a lot of MEL areas highlighted.
