The Configuration Deviation List (CDL) is part of the Aircraft Flight Manual and the Boeing Dispatch
Deviation Guide. The Confirguration Deviation List contains additional certificate limitations for operation of
the BOEING Model 757 Airplane with certain secondary airframe and engine parts missing and with certain
parts damaged by hail when on the ground as listed herein.
The following CDL is copied from the latest revision of the Boeing 757 Dispatch Deviation Guide
(DDG). This section is taken from the Latest revision of the Boeing Dispatch Deviation Guide,
Document # D630N002, and is appicable to all B757 aircraft. The configuration and applicability is to
be determined by the user.
The CDL must not deviate from the Aircraft Flight Manual Limitations, Aircraft Operations Manual, and
Emergency Procedures or with Airworthiness Directives. It is important to remember that all equipment
related to the airworthiness and the operating regulations of the aircraft not listed on the CDL must be
installed and operative.
Suitable conditions and limitations in the form of placards, maintenance procedures, crew operating
procedures and other restrictions as necessary are specified in the CDL to ensure that the required level of
safety is maintained.
The CDL is intended to permit operation with certain secondary airframe and engine items missing or
damaged and with certain parts damaged by hail for a period of time until repairs can be accomplished. It is
important that repairs be accomplished at the earliest opportunity.
In order to maintain the required level of safety and reliability, the CDL establishes limitations and conditions
for operation with certain secondary airframe and engine and with certain parts damaged by hail when on the
ground. The CDL provides for release of the aircraft for these items missing or damaged.
When an item is discovered to be inoperative, it is reported by making an entry in the Aircraft Maintenance
Record/Journey Logbook. The item is then either repaired or may be deferred per the CDL and MEL
procedures or alternatively, the aircraft may be operated subject to the conditions of a flight permit in
accordance with the CARs or other approved means acceptable to Transport Canada prior to further
operation. Airworthiness Directive requirements override the CDL conditions and provisos for the affected
items.
CDL conditions and limitations do not relieve the operator from determining that the aircraft is in condition for
safe operation with items of equipment inoperative.
When these requirements are met, an Airworthiness Release, Aircraft Maintenance Record/Logbook entry,
or other approved documentation is issued. Such documentation is required prior to operation with any item
of equipment inoperative.
Skyservice is responsible for exercising the necessary operational control to ensure that the required level of
safety is maintained. When operating with multiple inoperative items, the interrelationship between those
items and the effect on aircraft operation and crew workload will be considered.
Skyservice are to establish a controlled and sound repair program including parts, personnel, facilities,
procedures and schedules to ensure timely repair.
When using the CDL, compliance with the stated intent of the applicable Airplane Flight Manual - CDL
Section 1 – Certificate Limitations, preamble, definitions, and the conditions and limitations specified in the
CDL is required.
