    Extended Operations (ETOPS) A330 (.82/F330).180 minutes (ETOPS) = 1263 nm from a suitable airport.

    120 minutes (ETOPS) = 850 nm from a suitable airport.

    ETOPS Enroute Alternates.

    Adequate. An airport containing services and facilities capable of handling the

    aircraft with at least one runway of sufficient length for the landing aircraft.

    Suitable. An adequate airport with weather reports, or forecasts, or any

    combination thereof, indicating the weather conditions are at or above alternate

    requirements and the field condition reports indicate a safe landing can be

    accomplished at the time of the intended operation.

    ETOPS Entry Point (EEP) The EEP is the first point on a route of an ETOPS flight,

    determined using a one-engine inoperative cruise speed under standard

    conditions in still air, that is mo re than 60 minutes from an adequate airport.Prior to the ETOPS entry point:

    All ETOPS alternate airports must be reviewed and the flight cr ewadvised of any changes in conditions since dispatch.

    Dispatcher must use Company communications to update flight plan ifneeded because of a re-evaluation of aircraft system capabilities.

    time defines the time frame when a given flight may takeoff and is normally a

    fifteen minute window. For example, a 10:05 slot time would permit a takeoff

    between 10:00 and 10:15. (This slot t ime will normally be presented to the crew

    as a 10:00 to 10:15 slot by operations.) If the aircraft is ready for departure prior

    to the slot time, contact ground and advise, is fully

    ready and can accept an earlier slot, please advise CFMU (Central Flow

    Management Unit). Before calling ground, ensure:

    1. all passengers and cargo are on board,

    2. the aircraft is fueled and fueling equipment is r emoved,

    3. cargo/catering equipment is removed,

    4. all doors are closed, and

    5. the aircraft and crew are ready for pushback.

    Broadcast aircraft position and intentions. Identify conflicting traffic andcommunicate air-to-air with nearby aircraft. If there is another aircraft

    at or near the same flight level th at might cause a conflict, adjust the

    path of the aircraft, as necessary, to avoid conflict

    If contact was not established prior to deviating, continue to attempt tocontact ATC to obtain a clearance. If contact was established, continue

    to keep ATC advised of intentions and obtain essential traffic

    information.

    When returning to track, be at t he assigned flight level when the aircraftis within approximately 10 nm of centerline.

    D. Loss of FMS, GPS/IRS. Report a degrading in the aircraftsnavigational capability to ATC as soon as possible to ensure separation. An

    immediate deviation from the routing may not be necessary. Coordinate with ATC

    prior to deciding to continue or divert. Report unable RNP-10 if navigating with

    less than dual FMS with at least dual INS or a single INS and GPS.

    If one IRS fails before reaching the oceanic boundary, then the flight may continue

    as long as the remaining two IRSs are operational.

    If a second IRS fails after ETOPS Entry Point, use the Single IRS Procedure. A

    second IRS failure will result in loss of both autopilots. The Airbus will also lose t he

    A/THR system and flight control will revert to alternate law. See FOM 15b.10.8-12

    E. HF communications. Attempt contact with the assigned station on another frequency. Select a

    higher frequency during the daytime and a lower frequency at night.

    Request a relay by another aircraft in the v icinity utilizing 123.45 MHz. Attempt contact with another network station using the sources listed in

    Jeppesen Route Manual, Enroute Tab, pg AT-21 or on Atlantic Orientation

    Chart AT(H/L)1&2.

    Attempt contact with any station by addressing Any station hearing... Initial contact may have to be made on the emergency

    frequency 121.5 MHz then switched to appropriate air-to-air frequency.

    Attempt contact on commercial HF stations to relay the information (NY3494, 6640, 8933, 11342, 13330, 17925)or provide a phone patch.

    See also the Route Manual, Section 6 Communications Failure behind theEmergency Tab.

    One HF SELCAL Inoperative. Place the primary HF frequency in the HF radiowith the operating SELCAL. In this configuration continuous monitoring of the

    HF is not required.

    Both HF SELCALs Inoperative. If unable to obtain a SELCAL check on either HFradio, then a pilot will continuously monitor the primary HF frequency.

    Remarks may indicate the preferred alternative to the requested

    clearance and maximum flight level (Max F380) that can be accepted at

    the boundary.

    New York gives you the clearance by voice but sending request will verify what

    you want and if something different, they will have time to coordinate changes.

    may be required, depending on the type of contingency and whether continuing in

    the same direction or reversing course.

    If unable to maintain assigned altitude, initially minimize the rate of descent. Turn external lights on and maintain a traffic watch visually and by reference to

    TCAS (BLW).

    Acquire and maintain in either direction a track15 nm laterally separated fromthe assigned route when possible.

    Once established on the offset track, climb or descend to an altitude 500 feetdifferent from normally assigned altitudes.

    Broadcast, at suitable intervals: aircraft identification, flight level, position(including ATS route designator if applicable) and intentions on frequency in use

    and 121.5 (as a back-up, use 123.45).

    Diversion Across the Flow of Adjacent Traffic. Before starting a diversion acrossthe flow of adjacent traffic, while maintaining the 15 nm offset, expedite climb

    above or descent below levels where the majority of aircraft operate (e.g., to a

    level above FL410 or below FL290) and maintain a level which differs by 500 feet

    from those normally used. However, if the pilot is unable or unwilling to carry out

    a major climb or descent, the aircraft should be flown at a level 500 feet above or

    below levels normally used until a new ATC clearance is obtained.

    12. Oceanic In-Flight ContingenciesContingencies fall into these categories (See Chapter 15d: "Diversions". 15b10):

    A. Medical emergencies (MedLink). See QRH.

    B. Oceanic emergency altitude/route deviations. See trackdiversion in previous section.

    C. Oceanic weather deviations. Prior to deviating, contact ATC as soonas possible with the deviation request, reason for the request, and provide the

    direction/distance of the expected deviation.

    If Unable to Receive a Revised Clearance:

    If possible, deviate away from an organized track or route system. Establish communication with nearby aircraft by broadcasting flightidentification at suitable intervals: flight level, aircraft position (including

    the airway and intentions). Include the magnitude of the deviation

    expected on the frequency in use and on 121.5 MHz (or, as a back-up,

    the VHF inter-pilot air-to-air frequency 123.45).

    Watch for conflicting traffic both visually and using TCAS Turn on all aircraft exterior lights.

    For Deviations Less Than 10 nm: Remain at the level assigned by ATC.

    For Deviations Greater Than 10 nm: When the aircraft is approximately 10 nm

    from track, initiate a level change based on t he following criteria:
