Faheel,

The whole point about ETOPS is that it hinges on the RELIABILITY of the aircraft, it's engines and other ETOPS-critical systems. Statistics are produced to demonstrate this level of reliability, which include ALL in-flight shutdowns, regardless of which phase of flight they occur in, in order to achieve (and maintain) certification of that aircraft type for ETOPS operations by any given airline.
