19
Q

NON EDTO PLANNING

A

FLT CONSIDERED NON EDTO IF IT REMAINS WITHIN EDTO THRESHOLD DISTANCE OF AN ADEQ APT AT ALL TIMES

WHICH AIRPORTS

A

ONLY CAT A B OR C
NOT EMERG APTS

21
Q

ATS REQMTS

A

AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES

FOR AN APT OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA TO BE USED AS AN EDTO ALTN NEED ATS WITH NOT MORE THAN 30 MINS NOTICE

IN AUST NO REQMT

22
Q

RFFS

A

RESCUE FIRE FIGHTING SERVICE

OUTSIDE AUST NEED CAT 4 RFFS WITH NOT MORE THAN 30 MINS NOTICE

IN AUST NO REQMT

Q

EDTO INFLT FUEL REQMTS

A

AS PER NORMAL INFLT REQMTS

EDTO PLANNING MAINLY PREFLT ACTIVITY

NO REQMT TO DIVERT IF FUEL ONBOARD IS BELOW PREDICTED FUEL AT CPE AS DOING SO MAY EXPOSE AIRCRAFT TO GREATER RISK

INFLT CHECKS

A

2 WAY COMMS VHF HF CPDLC WITH ATC
2 WAY COMMS ACARS HF SATCOM WITH FLT DISPATCH
INFLT FUEL REQMTS MET
NO SERVICEABILITY ISSUES IE EDTO SIGNIFICANT SYS ISSUES
NOTAMS AND MSGS FROM FLT DISPATCH HAVE BEEN REVIEWED

INFLT ASSESS AGAINST LANDING MINIMA

33
Q

EDTO ALTN UNAVAILABLE

A

ONCE FLT HAS ENTERED EDTO SEGMENT AND AN EDTO ALTN BECOMES AVAILABLE EG DUE TO AIRCRAFT SYS FAILURE OR WEATHER THE FLT MAY CONTINUE AT PIC DISCRETION

34
Q

EDTO SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM

A

BOEING
PLAN TO LAND AT NEAREST AVAIL APT
AIRBUS
LAND ASAP

SHOWS AT A MINIMUM A FAILURE OF EDTO SIGNIFICANT SYS

IF EDTO FLT MUST PLAN TO LAND CAT A B OR C WITHIN EDTO MAX DIVERSION TIME ON OFP

A SIGNIFICANT SYS WOULD NORMALLY PRECLUDE ENTRY INTO EDTO SEGMENT. PIC MAY ELECT TO ENTER EDTO SEGMENT IN ORDER TO PROCEED TO AN APT IF ASSESSED AS LOWER RISK THAN DIVERTING TO CLOSER APT

FOR FAILURE NO NEED TO DIVERT TO CAT C. CAN PROCEED CAT A OR B ABOVE LANDING MINIMA

CAT C APT MAY NEED EMERG DECLARATION

35
Q

OEI CRUISE SPEED

EDTO

INFLT

A

OEI CRUISED SPEED ON OFP FOR PLANNING PHASE AT CPE

ACTUAL SPEED FLOWN AT PIC DISCRETION DEPENDING ON AIRCRAFT FUEL STATE AND LOCATION WHEN FAIKURE OCCURS

36
Q

DIVERSION STRATEGIES

INFLT

A

TIME STRATEGY
FOR MINIMUM TIME IE CARGO FIRE CAN USE VMO MMO

FUEL STRATEGY
MAXIMUM ENDURANCE CAN USE OEI LRC TO MINIMISE FUEL BURN

OBSTACLE STRATEGY
MAX L/D BEST OEI ALTITUDE OERFORMANCE UNTIL OBSTACLE CLEARED

FLT CREW NOT LIMITED BY THESE STRATEGIES
