AC 120-42B ETOPS and Polar Ops - Code7700

6/13/08 AC 120-42B• In-flight verification of ETOPS significant systems.(2) The initial pilot flight manual ETOPS section and each revision must be submittedto the CHDO and approved before being adopted.304. FLIGHT OPERATIONS TRAINING REQUIREMENTS.a. ETOPS Unique Requirements. The certificate holder’s approved training program forETOPS should include training that describes the unique aspects of ETOPS. That training shouldinclude, but not be limited to:(1) Diversion Decision Making. The certificate holder’s training program shouldprepare flight crewmembers to evaluate probable propulsion and airframe systems malfunctionsand failures. The goal of this training should be to establish flight crewmember competency indealing with the most probable operating contingencies.(2) Specific ETOPS Requirements. The certificate holder’s ETOPS training programshould provide and integrate training for flight crewmembers and dispatchers (if applicable), aslisted below. The FAA will periodically evaluate a cross-section of these items.(a) Flight planning, including contingency data, that is engine failure,decompression, and diversion equal time point.(b) Flight progress monitoring and fuel tracking.list (MEL).(c) Operational restrictions associated with dispatch under the minimum equipment(d) Non-normal procedures including:1. Abnormal and emergency procedures.2. Systems failures and remaining airplane capability as it relates to thedecision to divert or to continue.3. Diversion.4. Crewmember incapacitation.5. A simulated approach and missed approach with only an alternate powersource available, if the loss of two main alternating current electrical power sources with no APUelectrical source available results in significant degradation of instrumentation to either pilot.(e) Use of equipment specifically required for ETOPS operations such as coldweather gear and SATCOM.Par 303 Page 35
