I am returning to ETOPS flying shortly and have started studying (sort of) before line training kicks in but I find myself a little confused. Either some rules have changed or my memory is getting as bad as my eyesight……
If an en route airport becomes unavailable after the EEP, re route or turn back is NOT required?
“Weather minima at diversion airport(s) going below the company/crew en-route minima, before reaching the ETOPS Entry Point, or diversion airport(s) becoming unsuitable for any reason.”
I read the above from FCOM as though we can continue if wx goes below landing mins after we pass the EEP? Does the same apply to the remaining comment in the passage – “…or diversion airport(s) becoming unsuitable for any reason.”
Thanks for any input.
