belowMDA It's a fairly exciting prospect, and one of the few reasons to consider a bid onto the 76. I think for many of us a trip to the ice would be one to remember.... does the FMC have any latitude restrictions? NZIR is at 77.51 s which is getting pretty low. Any operators out there know if it is restricted at all?
Latitude restrictions on alignment, not navigation.
"..An extended 17 minute ground alignment is required between 70.2 and 78.25 degrees north and south latitudes.
In the NAV (navigation) mode the IRS will provide valid magnetic heading and track between 73 degrees north and 60 degrees south latitudes."
So heading ref switch in true below 60S as well.
Would this be the first time a wide body commercial jet has landed down there?
