Hi,
Just a quick question: how does your airline go about the ETOPS requirements vs terrain avoidance? For instance, if you are on a west-bound flight to let's say YVR, and your ETP between BIKF and CYYQ is a few hundred miles west of Greenland... What if you get a decompression and engine failure (DX) after you have passed Greenland, but well before the ETP? Does your company cater for extra fuel to circumnavigate the terrain? Do you have dispatch procedures that cater for ETOPS and high terrain?
Thanks in advance, best regards.
