Dangerous Goods Dill Code Z on PAX ETOPS
Hello all,
I've recently offloaded a cargo of Lithium Ion Batteries (UN3480) as it's "red book" Drill Code was 9FZ.
This was loaded on an ETOPS flight, and even though IATA approves it, I really believe code Z in an ETOPS flight is not safe, and if PAX on board knew about this, they would feel that the captain would not be taking care of their safety.
The problem is, it seems like my management was not in agreement with my decision, and I will be called in "for a coffee". Now I need some supporting information for my decision. I have some, but more would certainly help. Can you help my on this one?
Does your company accept this kind of load on ETOPS flights?
I will copy paste what Z means in a new message.
