I was thinking of part 91 flights.


my understanding
Although you do have to deactivate and placard the equipment, even if it
isn't required for the flight in question. A post-it next to the switch

will
do for a placard.
/my understanding


Actually getting off my butt and looking it up, I see I have summarized
91.213(d) pretty well, but until yesterday I assumed there was no Master MEL
for the typical small single-engine airplane (logic path goes through
(d)(1)(i)). As CJ discovered there is a generic MMEL, the flow actually goes
through (d)(1)(ii), but it then goes to the same place (d)2-4, if I have
followed the and/or's and indentation right. Of course, you can't fly
without equipment specifically required by the day/night vfr/ifr required
instruments regulation.
