Is Tango 9 an ETOPS route?
Any of you who use the airway T9 between BANBA and STG ever think about the case of engine failure at night on this route?
I was going along it myself the other day and got to thinking about alternates and distances/times in a OEI diversion.
My AOM says I'd have an (average weights) TAS of around 350kts with OEI. Parts of T9 appear to me to be in excess of the non- ETOPS requirement of 1 hour OEI range for twins.
Specifically the area seems marginal from south abeam Nantes until roughly abeam Bordeaux. Thats about 250nm distance!
Am I reading this wrong?
Any comments?
