Yak, Yak, Yak............!!!
Anyone here ever flown a glider?
Stay withn gliding distance and who cares if you have power or not.
In the UK is it perfectly OK to dump fuel at 10,080+ft above egll and lower if you declare an emergency!!!!
So, having departed EGLL, why not orbit in the overhead where there is no traffic.
Anyone here been vectored through the egll overhead on a regular basisinbound to egll?
ATCO's avoiding red lines keep quiet!!
1 Eng out off egll. I start the dump ASAP........my requirement to save life always resides above the fish life in the waste lakes.

PS,
One can only use ETOPS in circumstances where ETOPS is required. ...............Who in their right mind would hold close to a suitable landing place with 450 pax on one engine?
Unless wx dictated otherwise........which brings us to the departure alternate!
