180 mins ETOPS
You're planning a flight that crosses the atlantic and most of the canadian maritimes are out as well as lpla and kef.
So you're left with kbgr and einn as your 2 etops alts , but with the actual winds you are 3 hrs 36mins from both at the etp. Flight planners say that the 180 min still air rule is satisfied. Would you depart???? |
yep, you meet the regs here.
I would seriously look at other options (southern alternates...). But you are legal, so no leg to stand on (if you would want to refuse, sorry). GC |
as far as I know for thereshold distance calculation we consider wind as 0. We do not look to ETP to alternate times.
|
You can always use a single ETOPS alternate if you have 180 min ETOPS. Works great.
