ETOPS Online Training - Performance Standards for Extended-Range Twin-Engine Operations

ETOPS - Performance Standards for Extended-Range Twin-Engine Operations
ETOPS is an acronym for “Extended-range Twin-engine Operation Performance Standards.”
ETOPS is a regulation of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that allows twin-engine aircraft to fly over uninhabited areas (oceans, deserts, poles) and to use air routes that include sectors more than one hour away from an alternate airport, particularly over-ocean routes.
This certification allows for long-haul flights over uninhabited areas (oceans, deserts, poles) more than 60 minutes from a diversion airport (in case of an emergency).
