A
  • Satisfies the aircraft’s performance requirements
  • It is available at the expected time of use
  • Landing authorisation is granted
  • It has ground operational services (ATC, Meteorological and information offices, lighting)
  • At least one instrument approach (ILS, VOR, NDB…)
  • RFFS category at least CAT 4.
29
Q

LIMITATIONS
- The time capability of the cargo fire suppression system is…
- The time capability of all other ETOPS significant systems is…

A
  • 195 min.
  • 195 min.
30
Q

The ETOPS Critical Point is the point, along the route, for which the difference between the…

A

… standard fuel expected to be on board (FUEL TO CONTINUE) and the required ETOPS diversion fuel (FUEL TO DIVERT) is minimum or negative, thus requiring the carriage of additional ETOPS fuel reserves.

31
Q

MW point checks includes:

A
  • time
  • coordinates
  • wind
  • temperature
  • FOB
  • FU
  • FF
32
Q

ETOPS critical fuel planning - diversion fuel is defined as:

A
  • Fuel burn-off from the critical point to the end of descent, 1500ft above en-route alternate
  • Contingency fuel:
    5% of the above fuel, to allow for WIND DATA ERRORS
    5% of the above fuel, to account for DECREASE FUEL BURN PERFORMANCE
  • 15 minutes holding at 1500ft at GREEN DOT
  • First approach and landing
  • MEL/CDL effect
  • APU fuel consumption (160kg/h)
  • Forecasted SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS
33
Q

Suitability time window is the period commencing…

A

…at the EARLIEST POTENTIAL TIME of LANDING at the considered en-route alternate aerodrome and ENDS:
- ONE HOUR AFTER the LATEST ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL at this aerodrome.

34
Q

Unless reliable icing forecast is available, icing may be presumed to occur when the…

A
  • TAT (temperature on airplane surface) is LESS THAN 10°C at any point between the most critical point and ETOPS alternate at FL100
  • if OAT is between 0°C and -20°C with a Relative Humidity of 55%
35
Q

WX avoidance - if deviation < 5NM:

A
  • Deviate away from OTS or route system
  • REMAIN at level assigned
  • Look out for traffic (visually and TCAS)
  • Switch ON ALL LIGHTS

36
Q

WX avoidance - if deviation >= 5NM:

A
  • Deviate away from OTS or route system
  • Initiate LEVEL CHANGE (South - climb, North - descend)
  • Look out for traffic (visually and TCAS)
  • Switch ON ALL LIGHTS
  • Communicate intentions and position at SUITABLE INTERVALS (Callsign, FL, position) on active frequency and 121.500 or 123.450
37
Q

CONTINGENCY PROCEDURE - apply in case of:

A
  • WX avoidance
  • En-route diversion (due medical reasons)
  • Loss/reduction of navigation capability
38

44
Q

The technical criteria governing a re-routing or diversion decision can be classified into four categories:

A
  • Loss of MNPS capability (before entering the MNPS area)
  • ETOPS alternate becomes unavailable (e.g. WX below minima BEFORE reaching EEP)
