ETOPS clarity

wskwong,

Just to clarify a small point, as extreme P wrote - 180 minutes from a suitable airport ( in still air )

So although the 180 min ETOPS might equate to a distance of 1260 nm from a suitable airport - in still air - any ETOPS scenario will likely have you somewhat more than 180 minutes from touchdown.
