AN ACR FLC DEPARTS WITH AN ERRONEOUS DISPATCH RELEASE.

Narrative

LEG BEFORE OCCURRENCE A MEL ITEM WAS ADDED TO RELEASE. THE FIFTH LEG INCLUDED MEL VERBIAGE AND THE CORRECT MEL REFERENCE NUMBER; BUT VERBIAGE WAS SLIGHTLY INCORRECT. VERBIAGE REFED THE ASSOCIATED VALVE WHICH FUNCTIONED NORMALLY; INSTEAD OF THE VALVE POSITION INDICATOR WHICH WAS AFFECTED. STANDARDIZED VERBIAGE AND FORMAT ON RELEASES WOULD HELP THIS SITUATION. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR WAS FLYING A B737-200 ON THE DAY OF THIS SERIES OF EVENTS. THE ACFT HAD THE R AIR CONDITIONING PACK AIR MIX VALVE INDICATOR INOP. EACH OF THE DISPATCH RELEASES HAD THE PROPER MEL NUMBER SHOWN; BUT THE WRITTEN DESCRIPTION VARIED AND THE LAST DESCRIPTION OMITTED THE WORD 'INDICATOR.' THIS LAST STATEMENT WOULD REQUIRE DIFFERENT PROCS; IE; VALVE VERSUS INDICATOR INOP. THE RPTR SAID THAT HE DID NOT NOTE THE ERROR UNTIL HE WAS AIRBORNE. ONE OF THE PROBS THE RPTR MENTIONED IN REGARD TO THE RELEASES AT HIS COMPANY IS THAT THE FORMAT IS NOT STANDARD. HE SAID THE WORDING IS OFTEN BASED ON THE MEL OR THE FAA OR THE COMPANY FORMATS; BUT THE DISPATCHER OFTEN USES A DEGREE OF POETIC LICENSE. THIS REQUIRES THE PLT TO SEARCH THE TEXT FOR INFO CLUES.
