Impact of new ETOPS Rules - Summary

N j i t• No major impact on:

existing ETOPS certification process/procedures

methods as used successfully in previous FAA or EASA ETOPS approvals

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:

i d i il ETOPS i i f T i /Q dintroduce similar ETOPS precaution to operations of Tris/Quads:

– limited impact

• No Certification required as per ICAO SOTF proposal

• 180 min DT threshold and certification not required before 2015 as per FAA criteria

• 180 min DT threshold and certification not required before 2015 as per FAA criteria

• Few additional operational requirements (no additional maintenance) based on good practice (consideration of TLS / policy for selection and monitoring of en-route alternates)
