  The set of Multi-level Amplitude Damping (MAD) quantum channels is introduced
as a generalization of the standard qubit Amplitude Damping Channel to quantum
systems of finite dimension $d$. In the special case of $d=3$, by exploiting
degradability, data-processing inequalities, and channel isomorphism, we
compute the associated quantum and private classical capacities for a rather
wide class of maps, extending the set of solvable models known so far. We
proceed then to the evaluation of the entanglement assisted, quantum and
classical, capacities.
