Narrative:
We wrote up the brake pressure gauge and accomplished the standard MEL procedure for the A320 with a partially operative gauge. The aircraft is under an airworthiness directive that requires a brake pressure check for flts over 2 hours. We flew the plane with the MEL and were not totally able to confirm the brake pressure as per the airworthiness directive.

Title: AN A320 FLC DEPARTS CMH WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH ALL OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE MEL REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR PARTIALLY OPERATIVE BRAKE PRESSURE GAUGE.
Narrative: WE WROTE UP THE BRAKE PRESSURE GAUGE AND ACCOMPLISHED THE STANDARD MEL PROC FOR THE A320 WITH A PARTIALLY OPERATIVE GAUGE. THE ACFT IS UNDER AN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE THAT REQUIRES A BRAKE PRESSURE CHK FOR FLTS OVER 2 HRS. WE FLEW THE PLANE WITH THE MEL AND WERE NOT TOTALLY ABLE TO CONFIRM THE BRAKE PRESSURE AS PER THE AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE.
