I beg to differ, if we are playing semantics over EDTO/ETOPS that’s one thing but to say that the aeroplanes are not certified with up to 180 etops is not correct
I don't see any claim made that the ability to operate to 180 minutes after an engine failure was not certified.
“The 737-800BCF is not approved for ETOPS. IV. Operating and Service Instructions. 1. Airplane Flight Manual (AFM):. Boeing Document D631A001.”—-///—/
Aeronautical Engineers, Inc has received ETOPS 180 approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its B737-800SF freighter conversion.
The ETOPS 180 approval allows the B737-800SF freighter to fly 180-minute extended operations over water and remote regions.
Without ETOPS approval aircraft must be within 60 minutes flying time of an airport where they can make an emergency landing.
