Hey Can we depart with that broken?

Ever had that question? I have the solution for you. The FAA has the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) for the Beech 2000. You can find it here: https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/170321D2A5A122208625752400624D62.0001
If the equipment is on that list, you are ok to dispatch provided you comply with the M and O procedures
"(M)" symbol indicates a requirement for a specific maintenance procedure which must be accomplished prior to operation with the listed item inoperative. Normally these procedures are accomplished by maintenance personnel; however, other personnel may be qualified and authorized to perform certain functions. Procedures requiring specialized knowledge or skill, or requiring the use of tools or test equipment should be accomplished by maintenance personnel. The satisfactory accomplishment of all maintenance procedures, regardless of who performs them, is the responsibility of the operator. Appropriate procedures are required to be published as part of
the operator's manual or MEL.
"(O)" symbol indicates a requirement for a specific operations procedure which must be accomplished in planning for and/or operating with the listed item inoperative. Normally these procedures are accomplished by the flight crew; however, other personnel may be qualified and authorized to perform certain functions. The satisfactory accomplishment of all procedures, regardless of who performs them, is the responsibility of the operator. Appropriate procedures are required to be published as a part of the operator's manual or MEL.
