The flightplans on FlightAware - Free Flight Tracker - IFR Flight Status, Tracking, History, Maps (http://flightaware.com) show ANZ14 from NCRG Rarotonga to KLAX going direct from BORIC to AMATT. AirNav (http://www.airnav.com) says BORIC is 15-48-25 N, 134-25-33 W and AMATT is 23-15-37 N, 130-09-52 W.
Along the direct route between those lat-lons is 17.891039 N, 133.278099 W, which is 1243.1 nm from ITO and the same from SAN. Is the 767-300 allowed to get this far from an airport?
If by chance San Nicolas KNSI is an allowed alternate then their farthest-from-an-airport distance becomes 1228.4 nm-- but probably KNSI isn't allowed? And if it isn't, San Clemente isn't either? I see no other possible diversions closer than SAN and ITO.
