Freightforlife, how about if the wind becomes favourable (tailwinds) on the day of departure; and the circles around your alternate/destination airport overlap each other,do you still need ETOPS for that leg of the flight even if it results in less flight time. Reference (FAA FAR) Appendix G to Part 135 ETOPS--- Operational Requirements G135.2.5(d)1/2
