Wx minima prior to ETOPS entry - has this happened to you
Should not need to be asking this question but can anyone point me to the ICAO/JAA requirements for this.
My current and previous companies all taught that the designated ETOPs alternates had to have at least ACTUAL minima or an another alternate with acceptable minima is found....a/c re-routes or diverts.
Unfortunately my companies Operating Manuals have been written by non native English speakers....are being read by mainly non native English speakers which is leading to "grey areas" where there should be none.
I realise that the chances of this happening (with dispatch planning minima being so high) are slim....but would be interested to know if anyone has ever been in this situation and had to divert/reroute?
