Yeah I realise that one doesn't get ETOPS approval without demonstrated experience on type etc, but I thought the 90 minute rule applied to aircraft that weren't ETOPS rated ?
The 90 minute rule was surely the predecessor to ETOPS wasn't it ?
Where does 75 minutes come from ?
I am just trying to understand it hypothetically.
Tell me since on the topic, there is also a term EROPS filtering into jargo which suggests ETOPS rules applied to aircraft with more than two engines ?
What is the story say with a three holer 727 flying the same routes ?
Groundloop was that a pax flight Hobart to Christchurch ?
732s have flown to the Pacific from NZ before...
