expedite_climb, all you need to do is wind the range control of your ND out to maximum and look what airports are visible on the display. With mine set to 320NM (max) there was nuthin but blackness when I was in the middle of Tango 9!
I'll admit that I haven't yet got out a compass and ruler to check actual distances (I'm gonna do so) but at first glance it looks like it's a marginal operation to say the least.
Highlander...it sounds like your crowd are 180min ETOPS approved, so it's perfectly legal for you to be there.
We aren't ETOPS on this machine in my company.
Sky9, the 400kts you quote is a good 50 kts above our book value for OEI diversion. Its a Bus.
Interested to hear more of the 'grandfather rights' issue though.
Can you elaborate?
