material submitted on the Concession Application. |
| Material
Specification Rolls-Royce (MSRR) |
Refers to materials which will fly, or become part of a
production (i.e. flight standard) engine. |
| Method |
This term embraces the entire system of manufacture, including
material manufacture, used to produce the part or feature in question.
Typical examples of operations that require method change control may
be found in JES 125. |
| MCR

- "Natural Gas" ; also produces as a by-product of waste degradation
in landfill sites and from farming activities - a significant Greenhouse
Gas. |
| Method
(Classified Parts) |
The entire system of manufacture (including material manufacture)
used to produce the finished part. Certain methods (early in the manufacturing
sequence) may not need control as they cannot affect the performance of
a finished component; for additional detail refer to JES 125. |
| Mini-Plan |
A "mini-plan", is a partial manufacturing plan
to cover only some changed features and not the complete manufacturing
plan. |
| Modeller |
The person responsible for capturing the technical design
solution in the form of component definition(s). |
| Mod
Bulletin |
The formal document raised to obtain either Civil Aviation

| Montreal Protocol |
Countries or trading groups that are signatories to the Montreal Protocol have agreed to phase out the manufacture of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS's), leading to / resulting in a total ban in their production (i.e. CFC's, Halons, Trichloroethane, Carbon Tetrachloride, Methyl Bromide, HCFC's). |
| MSRR
approved stockist |
A supplier that stocks / sells an MSRR specified material
obtained from a Rolls-Royce approved manufacturer and holds a letter of
approval / certificate from Rolls-Royce. |
