Example for ETOPS 180 min (ISA no wind) operational approval

Impact of new ETOPS Rules - Summary
• Impact on Airbus products:
A320 Family: no need identified today
A330: ETOPS >180 min certification has been granted by EASA– Enables A330 to operate routes with a diversion distance up to 1700 Nm, which corresponds to an “ETOPS
diversion time” slightly higher than 240 min (diversion time converted into distance at the OEI speed
schedule= MCT/VMO, ISA conditions and Still Air).
A350: “unlimited” ETOPS capability is targetedp y g
– Basic aircraft will be 180 min ETOPS capable
– 240 min ETOPS and “unlimited” ETOPS (up to 350 min DT) capability should be proposed
A340/A380: ETOPS certification not required until 2015

Conclusion
• ETOPS is considered as one of the major contributor to the global aviation safety in the last 20 years by introducing:
Higher aircraft & engine design and reliability standardsg g g y
Robust operational and maintenance practices
• The new EDTO/ETOPS/LROPS regulations:
