For those of you who havn^t noticed the legal changes and have not read the AC, only one simple quote...:

200. ETOPS REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
a. All two-engine airplanes and three- and four-engine passenger-carrying airplanes operated under part 121 are required to comply with § 121.161. This regulation imposes special requirements for ETOPS for these airplanes. These operations are defined as:
(1) Two-Engine Airplanes. These are flights whose planned routing contains a point farther than 60 minutes flying time from an adequate airport at an approved one-engine inoperative cruise speed under standard conditions in still air.
(2) Passenger-Carrying Airplanes with More Than Two Engines. These are flights whose planned routing contains a point farther than 180 minutes flying time from an adequate airport at an approved one-engine inoperative cruise speed under standard conditions in still air.

Thanks anyway for your replies,
J.V.
