ANZ Contingency fuel

Hello everyone,

I'm a 777 flight crew, but a flight simmer at heart. I never dropped the hobby. Me and some buddies try and replicate as much as possible real world ops of the airlines we fly. We use PFPX which is a highly customizable dispatch software for flight simming use. Most of the time, we can find the data we need online to satisfy ourselves. (e.g. YouTube videos following real world flights, where the flight crew go over the flight planning). However, Air NZ is another story.

I was wondering if any of you out there can tell me;

- If ANZ is using statistical contingency nowadays or still the basic 5% of trip fuel. And if so, given the long routes flown across the pacific, if re-dispatching/re-filing is still performed to lessen the economic impact.
- Does ANZ use a static threshold time for ETOPS or is it dynamic? Where I fly, we use 420 NM for the 777. This would come in handy in formatting a profile for when we fly ANZ.

Also, completely aware of the nature of such documents, someone can have a widebody OFP lying around that they are willing to share.

Thanks in advance for even taking the time to read ....

Cheers,

Xander
