Introduction
Scope
The ETOPS II Startup Guide covers configuring JetPlan to support ETOPS II flight planning
and using [Link] to run ETOPS II flight plans. The ETOPS II flight plan options in
JetPlan support the 2007 FAA update to ETOPS Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). The
2007 update revised and clarified the operational requirements for extended operations and
encoded the requirements into [Link] updated JetPlan to support the ETOPS
planning requirements and fuel calculations resulting from the 2007 regulatory changes. The
term ETOPS II differentiates the updated JetPlan ETOPS functionality from the pre-2007,
legacy ETOPS functionality. For a fuller discussion of the ETOPS II feature in JetPlan, see
Chapter 1, “Overview of ETOPS II.”
NOTE While customers can continue to use legacy, pre-2007 ETOPS in JetPlan,
legacy ETOPS is not covered in the ETOPS II Startup Guide. For documentation on
legacy ETOPS, see the User Manuals page on [Link].

This guide assumes familiarity with the following:

• About ETOPS
• About the ETOPS II Feature in JetPlan
Overview of ETOPS II
About ETOPS
About ETOPS
NOTE The ETOPS II Startup Guide assumes familiarity with ETOPS as defined by
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in AC 120-42B – Extended Operations
(ETOPS and Polar Operations). The following section provides a brief, high-level
summary of ETOPS only.
ETOPS pertains to flight operations in areas that are a defined distance from the closest
adequate diversion airport. The FAA defines an ETOPS area as being more than 60 minutes
from an adequate airport for two-engine airplanes and more than 180 minutes from an
adequate airport for three- or four-engine airplanes. The distance from the adequate airport is
based on a one-engine inoperative cruise speed in standard conditions in still air.
Airlines that operate aircraft in ETOPS areas must adhere to stringent procedures and
regulations. ETOPS regulations have evolved as aircraft capabilities have advanced. Since the
1950s, the FAA and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have had rules
prohibiting two-engine airplanes from flying farther than 60 minutes from an acceptable
emergency airport (Federal Aviation Regulation 121.161). In 1985, the FAA published
guidelines that enabled operators to obtain approval to fly beyond the previous 60-minute
limitation, up to a maximum of 180 minutes deviation time from an adequate airport
(Advisory Circular 120-42). These guidelines were known in the aviation industry as Extended
Twin-Engine Operational Performance Standards (ETOPS).
In 2007, the FAA issued updated Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) relating to the
operation of all aircraft on flights that have a potential for extended time diversions
(InFO 07004). As a result, the term ETOPS was redefined as Extended Operations. The
updated ETOPS FARs made significant changes to the planning and fuel calculations for
ETOPS flights. The updated FARs stipulate that operators planning with three- and four-
engine airplanes must perform ETOPS flight planning and operations when the route includes
a point farther than 180 minutes from an adequate airport. Part 135 operators are also required
to perform ETOPS flight planning and operations when the route includes a point farther than
180 minutes from an adequate airport.
Today, the majority of commercial airline flights over the North Atlantic operate under
ETOPS guidelines. In the Pacific, air carriers are often approved to fly two-engine airplanes as
far as 207 minutes from an adequate airport.
To perform ETOPS operations, an operator must demonstrate that it can operate the aircraft in
compliance with ETOPS regulations. The operator must also implement special flight
planning and dispatch procedures that ensure safe operations in ETOPS areas. The JetPlan
ETOPS II feature enables an airline dispatcher to perform ETOPS flight planning tasks while
complying with ETOPS regulations. The following paragraphs describe some of the ETOPS II
capabilities that support compliance.
NOTE Output of ETOPS data on the flight plan is format-dependent. For more
information, see Chapter 7, “Understanding ETOPS II Flight Plan Output.”
Critical Point The flight plan must report the points along the route where the crew
Determination can expect to change to a different diversion airport in case of an
emergency. A critical point may be one of the following:
The Equal Time Point Summary on the flight plan includes data about
the critical point for the ETOPS segment. The EEPs, EXPs, and ETPs
are also reported in the navigation log on the flight plan.
Suitability Times The dispatcher must know and the flight plan must show the earliest
(Early/Late Time) and the latest time that the aircraft is expected to arrive at an ETOPS
Computation alternate airport. JetPlan calculates these early and late times based on
the location of the critical points, and the slowest and fastest speeds
that the aircraft is expected to fly a diversion leg to the alternate
airport. The suitable early and late arrival times for each alternate are
listed in the Suitable Times Detail summary on the flight plan.
Adjustments to suitability times can be set in the Flight Brief database
to comply with EU ETOPS regulations or those of other authorities.
Critical Fuel The point of ETOPS computations is to ensure that the aircraft has
Requirement sufficient fuel to fly the worst-case diversion leg in the worst-case
Calculation scenario. JetPlan can account for three standard ETOPS scenarios for
each diversion leg. All three scenarios use the same ETPs. ETPs are
calculated using forecast winds and single ETP True Airspeed (TAS).
The three scenarios analyzed are:
The fuel to meet the worst of the scenarios must be on board the
aircraft at the critical point. This information is reported on the flight
plan in the Critical Fuel Summary. In addition, when the extended
ETOPS option is requested (ETOPXN), the flight plan includes the
Extended Critical Fuel Detail output, which includes the Pressurized
Engine-Out scenario information.
Multi-Segment JetPlan enables you to configure the Flight Brief database to support
ETOPS multi-segment ETOPS flight planning. In multi-segment ETOPS
Computation flight plan calculations, JetPlan automatically determines all the
ETOPS segments that exist for user-specified ETOPS airports based
on settings in the Flight Brief database. When calculating multi-
segment flight plans, JetPlan does the following:

Overview
Overview
This chapter describes prerequisites and provides information on the configuration of user
preferences and customer databases used in ETOPS II.
Meeting Prerequisites
You must meet the following prerequisites to set up and run ETOPS II flight plans using
JetPlan or a software product that interfaces with JetPlan, such as JetPlanner:
Customer preferences define user-specific default functionality in JetPlan. The ETOPS Carry-
over Flag and the TAF Check customer preferences apply to ETOPS II. The following
paragraphs describe these preferences.
NOTE All other ETOPS-related customer preference database settings apply only
to legacy ETOPS and not to ETOPS II.
NOTE Unless you have the ETOPS Carry-over (ETOPCO) format keyword set in
your flight plan format or can set the ETOPS Carry-over value in your flight plan
request, the ETOPS Carry-Over Flag preference must be set. (See “ETOPCO in the
Flight Plan Format or Flight Plan Request” on page 15.)
The ETOPS Carry-over Flag customer preference allows operators to specify whether ETOPS
critical fuel calculations are to assume that any extra planned fuel is present in the fuel on
board at the critical point. This feature is a response to the fact that some operator policies
might indicate that fuel categorized as EXTRA is not required in the fuel load on takeoff.
The following table describes the settings for the ETOPS Carry-over Flag customer
preference used with ETOPS II. The recommended setting for the ETOPS Carry-over Flag
preference is 6. If you have additional questions about this preference, contact your Jeppesen
Implementation Specialist or Jeppesen Customer Support.
Setting Definition
3 CFS mitigation is performed. JetPlan assumes that all EXTRA fuel is loaded on the
aircraft. After being applied to other additional fuel needs, such as reserve fuel or hold fuel,
remaining EXTRA fuel is applied to any CFS found. If the remaining EXTRA fuel is
sufficient to cover the CFS, no fuel is added to ETOPS ADD in the flight plan output. If
remaining EXTRA fuel is insufficient to cover the ETOPS CFS, additional fuel required to
cover the CFS is added to ETOPS ADD. EXTRA and ETOPS ADD are output on separate
lines.
6 CFS mitigation is performed. JetPlan determines how much of the EXTRA fuel is required
(Recommended to cover any CFS found. JetPlan then allocates enough fuel from EXTRA to ETOPS ADD
setting) to cover the CFS. The balance left in EXTRA is the amount that is not required to cover the
ETOPS CFS and is output as EXTRA fuel. This approach ensures that the ETOPS critical
fuel requirement is still met in case the fuelers decide to leave EXTRA fuel off the aircraft.
EXTRA and ETOPS ADD amounts are output on separate lines.
Setting Definition
0 No Wx (TAF) check is performed.

This section contains information on customer database parameters used with ETOPS II.
These parameters are in the following databases:
– Customer Aircraft
– Aircraft Fleet
– City Pair Fleet
– Airport
– Airport Fleet
– Flight Brief
Figure 2.1 shows the Customer Aircraft database fuel parameters. Parameters outlined in blue
support ETOPS II but are optional. These parameters are used for primary mission burn
calculations. See Table 2-3 on page 20 for more information on these parameters.
Table 2-3 describes the Customer Aircraft database fuel parameters that support ETOPS II.
Use this table in conjunction with the JetPlan User Manual or [Link] Help file, either of
which provides more detailed definitions of these parameters.
(ST) Situation Code Optional Defines the time frame during which the auxiliary
power unit (APU) runs while in ETOPS airspace.
Set this value based on the aircraft manufacturer’s
recommendations and regulatory requirements for
running the APU during a primary mission.
Input values:
• E – APU fuel burn is calculated for the time
while in ETOPS airspace.
• W – APU fuel burn is calculated for the whole
flight.
• X – APU fuel burn is calculated from takeoff
to the ETOPS exit point.
• None – Set to None if you do not need to
calculate ETOPS APU burn while in ETOPS
airspace.
NOTE The APU Burn Rate (BR) parameter value is
applied only when the Situation Code parameter is
set to E, W, or X.
(BR) APU Burn Rate Optional The APU burn rate parameter applies to aircraft that
require the APU to be running while in ETOPS
airspace. This parameter refers to the unloaded
APU burn rate. Unloaded in this context means that
the APU is running idle. When the APU is running
idle, the fuel burn is lower than when there is a load
on the APU. The APU fuel burn is not included in
the Critical Fuel Scenario (CFS) calculation.
Input value: Pounds or kilos per hour
Example value: 185
NOTE The BR parameter value is applied only if
the Situation Code (ST) parameter is set to E, W, or
X.
NOTE Separate display of the APU fuel burn on
the flight plan is format-dependent. The APU fuel
burn is part of the trip fuel if not otherwise defined in
the format.
Table 2-4 describes the Customer Aircraft database fuel parameters that support ETOPS II.
Use this table in conjunction with the JetPlan User Manual or [Link] Help file, either of
which provides more detailed definitions of these parameters.
(HA) Hold Altitude Optional Defines the altitude at which hold fuel is calculated.
Set this value according to the company policy for
hold.
This value affects the two-engine decompressed
scenario, but not the engine-out scenarios.
This parameter overrides the hold altitude setting
loaded in the aircraft’s generic data.
Value: Altitude entry in feet
Example value: 1500
Table 2-5 describes the Customer Aircraft database ETP parameters that support ETOPS II.
Use this table in conjunction with the JetPlan User Manual or [Link] Help file, either of
which provides more detailed definitions of these parameters.
(EC) ETP All Engine Optional but Defines the cruising speed of the aircraft for the
Depressurized Cruise recommended divert portion of a depressurized, all-engine ETOPS
Mode flight plan, based on cruise table data.
Set this value according to company policy. If the
EC parameter is not set, the system defaults to
Long-Range Cruise (LRC).
The input value must be consistent with table
performance data in the aircraft’s generic record.
For more information, see the “Aircraft Type
Commands” chapter in the JetPlan User Manual.
Value: A three-character cruise mode or true
airspeed entry.
Example value: LRC
The parameters in the ETOPS section include flags and factors. Flags turn on features, such as
the Anti-Ice function. Factors are formulas used in ETOPS calculations – for example, the
Anti-Ice formula. A flag activates a particular factor and specifies the situation in which it is
applied. The value of a given flag or factor is coded information. Flag codes can be entered in
various combinations, depending on the type of performance factors you want to affect. For
detailed definitions of flags, factors, and coded values, see the “Customer Aircraft Database”
chapter in the JetPlan User Manual.
Figure 2.4 shows the Customer Aircraft database ETOPS section parameters. See Table 2-6 on
page 26 for more information on these parameters.

You can use the Aircraft Fleet database to store and manage data related to a specific aircraft
fleet type. A fleet type is the Jeppesen generic aircraft ID for a specific airframe/engine
combination. For each flight plan request, JetPlan checks the Aircraft Fleet database for a
record that matches the aircraft fleet type in the request. If the record exists, JetPlan uses the
stored data when calculating the flight plan.
For ETOPS II, you can manage up to 12 Speed/Cruise Mode (SCM) datasets in the Aircraft
Fleet database. The SCM datasets include parameters that you can configure for use in
different ETOPS diversion mode and approval time combinations. You must define one SCM
dataset to use as your default. This data is then used in ETOPS II flight plan calculations for
the specified aircraft fleet type.
Each ETOPS SCM dataset is uniquely identified in the database by the combined values of the
ETOPS Diversion Mode Title parameter and the ETOPS Deviation Time parameter (the
approved ETOPS diversion time in minutes). In addition to the ETOPS Range Ring Radius,
each SCM dataset includes corresponding true airspeeds and cruise modes used for ETP and
Critical Fuel Scenario (CFS) calculations.
Figure 2.5 on page 37 shows the Customer Aircraft Fleet database ETOPS II Parameters. See
Table 2-7, “Customer Aircraft Fleet Database – ETOPS II Parameters,” on page 38 for more
information on these parameters.
Table 2-7 table describes the Customer Aircraft Fleet database parameters that support
ETOPS II. Use this table in conjunction with the JetPlan User Manual or [Link] Help
file, each of which provides more detailed definitions of these parameter.
(DMT) Default ETOPS Required Identifies the ETOPS Diversion Mode Title of your
Diversion Mode Title default SCM set. (The ETOPS Diversion Mode

Example value: 2310
(SW#) Reference Weight Optional Enables you to specify the weight the airline uses to
determine aircraft performance for the ETOPS
range-ring radius. JetPlan does not use this weight
in any calculations.
You can derive this value from test flight plans at
various weights for the ETOPS routes.
Jeppesen recommends using this weight to derive
the Range Ring Radius and the Adequate Airport
Radius.
One way to determine this weight is by running a
maximum takeoff weight plan and finding the
aircraft gross weight at the ETOPS entry point.

be computed. When this field is not set for TLS, the
system computes cruise to a point directly over the
airport.
Value: 3 alphanumeric characters. The value must
match the code in the aircraft data file exactly.
Example value: HSP
You can use the City Pair Fleet database to store and manage data related to a specific
departure and arrival airport combination (a city pair) and a specific aircraft fleet type. A fleet
type is a specific airframe/engine combination. For each flight plan request, JetPlan checks the
City Pair Fleet database for a record that matches the city pair/fleet combination in the request.
If the record exists, JetPlan uses the stored data when calculating the flight plan.
For ETOPS II, you can define a default SCM dataset for a given city pair/fleet type
combination. In the City Pair Fleet database record for the city pair/fleet type combination,
you can create the default SCM database set by referencing a specific SCM set in the
Customer Aircraft Fleet database. Up to 12 SCM sets can be defined and stored in the
Customer Aircraft Fleet database. Each SCM set is uniquely identified by the values of the
ETOPS Diversion Mode Title parameter and the ETOPS Deviation Time parameter (the
approved ETOPS diversion time in minutes). You must ensure that the value of the ETOPS
Diversion Mode Title and the ETOPS Deviation Time parameters in the City Pair Fleet
database record exactly match the values of those parameters in the Customer Aircraft Fleet
database SCM dataset that you want to use as the default for the city pair/fleet.
If you set up a default SCM dataset in the City Pair Fleet database, JetPlan uses that data in
any flight plan request including a matching city pair/fleet combination. If the City Pair Fleet
database does not include a default SCM dataset, JetPlan follows the order of precedence
described in “Setting Up the Aircraft Fleet Database for ETOPS II” on page 36.
Figure 2.6 shows the City Pair Fleet database parameters that support ETOPS II. See
Table 2-8 on page 48 for more information on these parameters.
Table 2-8 describes the City Pair Fleet database ETOPS parameters that support
ETOPS II. Use this table in conjunction with the JetPlan User Manual or [Link] Help
file, each of which provides more detailed definitions of these parameter.
(SD) ETOPS Deviation Optional Indicates the number of minutes that defines the
Time approved ETOPS diversion time for the designated
city pair and fleet type. This parameter and
Diversion Mode Title together constitute the SCM
dataset key in the City Pair Fleet database record.
Both parameters are required if the ETOPS SCM
set is used. This title/time combination must match
exactly those of the SCM set in the Aircraft Fleet
database that is being referenced as the default for
this city pair/fleet type combination.
Value: The value of the Deviation Time parameter
you are using as the default.
Example value: 180
The Customer Airport database enables you to create and maintain airports and custom values
associated with each airport. For each flight plan request, JetPlan checks the Customer Airport
database for a record that matches the airport in the request. If the record exists, JetPlan uses
the stored data when calculating the flight plan.
The ETOPS Approach parameters in the Customer Airport database let you define ceiling and
visibility minimum values used in the weather suitability checks of ETOPS II alternates.
Settings in the Airport database apply to any aircraft type. Any ETOPS Approach parameters
defined for the airport in the Customer Airport Fleet database record take priority over those
approach values in the Customer Airport record.
IMPORTANT A Customer Airport database record must exist for any airport
specified in an ETOPS request. This is true even if the ceiling and visibility for the
same airport are defined in the Customer Airport Fleet database.
Figure 2.7 shows the Customer Airport database parameters that support ETOPS II. See
Table 2-9 on page 50 for more information on these parameters.
Table 2-9 describes the Customer Airport database parameters that support
ETOPS II. Use this table in conjunction with the JetPlan User Manual or [Link] Help
file, each of which provides more detailed definitions of these parameter.
(EVM) ETOPS Visibility Optional Defines the visibility minimum for the airport in
Minimum feet or meters.
This parameter is used to determine if an ETOPS
alternate is suitable based on the TAF weather
between the early arrival time and later arrival time.
If the Customer Airport Fleet database does not
include a visibility minimum value for this airport,
JetPlan checks for the minimum in the Customer
Airport database. If there is no minimum value in
the Customer Airport database, JetPlan uses zero
visibility and assumes the airport is suitable in any
weather.
Value: 0–10000 feet or meters
Example value: 9000
The Airport Fleet database enables you to define and manage data for combinations of specific
airports and specific aircraft fleet types. A fleet type is the Jeppesen generic aircraft ID that
defines a specific airframe/engine combination. For each flight plan request, JetPlan checks
the Airport Fleet database for a record that matches the combination of airport and aircraft
fleet type in the request. If the record exists, JetPlan uses the stored data when calculating the
flight plan.
Airport fleet records contain parameters that JetPlan uses to determine the ETOPS area of
operations in an ETOPS II flight plan. If you use the Airport Fleet database for ETOPS
planning, define a sufficient number of adequate ETOPS airports to ensure that the ETOPS
entry and exit points are accurately calculated. Also, create records for all approved ETOPS
alternates in your company’s operations specifications.
The ETOPS II parameters in the Airport Fleet database also include the weather minimum
values used in the weather suitability checks of ETOPS alternates. Weather minimums in the
Customer Airport Fleet take precedence over minimums for ETOPS alternates in the
Customer Airport database.
Figure 2.8 shows the Customer Airport Fleet database parameters that support ETOPS II. See
Table 2-10 on page 53 for more information on these parameters.
Table 2-10 describes the Customer Airport Fleet database parameters that support
ETOPS II. Use this table in conjunction with the JetPlan User Manual or [Link] Help
file, each of which provides more detailed definitions of these parameters.
(ESU) ETOPS Suitable Optional Defines the airport as acceptable for use in the
Alternate flight plan as an ETOPS alternate, typically based
on its inclusion in the carrier's operations
specification. Refer to the approved ETOPS
alternate airports included in the operations
specifications.
Value: Yes or No
(EAD) ETOPS Adequate Optional but Defines the airport as an ETOPS adequate alternate,
Alternate recommended for use in calculating the ETOPS area of operation.
Identify a sufficient number of airports to meet
regulatory requirements and to provide coverage of
the potential routes so that ETOPS entry and exit
points are accurately calculated.
Value: Yes or No
(ECM) ETOPS Ceiling Optional Defines the ceiling minimum for the airport in feet
Minimum or meters.
This parameter is used to determine if an ETOPS
alternate is suitable based on the TAF weather
between the early arrival time and later arrival time.
If the Customer Airport Fleet database does not
include a ceiling minimum value for this airport,
JetPlan checks for the minimum in the Customer
Airport database. If there is no minimum value in
the Customer Airport database, JetPlan uses zero
ceiling and assumes the airport is suitable in any
weather.
Value: 0–10000 feet or meters
Example value:800
The (E) EU-ETOPS Early/Late Override flight brief type applies only to ETOPS II flight
plans. You can use the (E) EU-ETOPS Early/Late Override flight brief type to apply the
following conditions to ETOPS II flight plans:
Figure 2.9 shows the Flight Brief database parameters that support ETOPS II. See Table 2-11
on page 57 for more information on these parameters.
Table 2-11 describes the Flight Brief database parameters that support
ETOPS II. Use this table in conjunction with the JetPlan User Manual or [Link] Help
file, each of which provides more detailed definitions of these parameters.
Flight Brief Type Required to create a Type For ETOPS II flight plan options, this parameter
Parameter E flight brief record. must be set to (E) EU-ETOPS Early/Late Override.
ETOPS Early Buffer Optional The ETOPS Early Buffer and ETOPS Late Buffer
let you extend the early and late arrival times at
ETOPS alternates by setting the buffer times.
For example, according to NPA-OPS40A, “An
aerodrome may be nominated as an ETOPS Route
Alternate for flight planning and release purposes if
the available forecast weather conditions are
favorable and fall between the anticipated time of
landing until one hour after the latest possible time
of landing.” To satisfy this regulation, you could,
for example, set an arrival time early buffer to 0
minutes and a late buffer to 60 minutes. Note that
the buffer times might have to be different to satisfy
other aviation authorities.
Value: 000–999 (time in minutes). Example: 60
NOTE If no Type E flight brief record exists for a
flight, the default buffer times are zero. However, an
operator can apply buffer times to all its flights by
creating a single flight brief record for Flight Brief
Type E, and entering the buffer times. Similarly, to
have buffer times apply to all flights for a Fleet Type,
enter the Fleet Type and the buffer times.
ETOPS Late Buffer Optional The ETOPS Late Buffer option lets you extend the
late arrival time at an ETOPS alternate. See also the
description for the ETOPS Early Buffer parameter
above.
Value: 000–999 (time in minutes)
Example: 60

Values: On/Off. Off is default setting.
For additional information about this parameter, see
Chapter 5, “ETOPS II for EU-OPS Business
Aviation Operators.”
Combine ETOPS Optional but required for This option lets you specify a maximum distance in
segments less than <n> Multi-Segment ETOPS nautical miles between consecutive ETOPS
nm apart calculations segments. If the distance between any two ETOPS
segments is less than or equal to the value of this
parameter, the system considers the two ETOPS
segments and the route in between them as one
ETOPS segment.
NOTE If you do not enter a value for this
parameter, the system uses 9999 nm as the default
value. In this case, the system considers the two
ETOPS segments and the entire route between
them as one ETOPS segment.
Values: 1–9999 nautical miles. The default value is
9999.
Example: 0100
This guide focuses on using ETOPS II with the Basic Flight Planner in [Link]. For
information on using ETOPS II with another Jeppesen flight planning product, refer to the
product’s user documentation.
The Basic Flight Planner in [Link] enables you to submit the necessary information for a
flight plan request, such as the POD, POA, aircraft, operating weight, and so on. This guide
focuses only on ETOPS II-specific options. For information on non-ETOPS II options, see the
JetPlan User Manual or your flight planning product’s user documentation.
To generate an ETOPS II flight plan, you need to specify an ETOPS II flight plan option in the
01 OPTIONS box in the Basic Flight Planner Form in [Link]. For the list of ETOPS II
flight plan options, see Table 3-1 on page 67. If you use the ETOPN, ETOPXN, or ETOPXNL
01 option, you can also specify additional options in the 04 ETOPS ALTS box. For a list of
the 04 ETOPS ALTS options, see Table 3-2 on page 68.
3. In the 01 OPTIONS box, type the desired ETOPS II flight plan option. See
Table 3-1 on page 67 for possible 01 options.
If you type ETOPN, ETOPXN, or ETOPXNL in the 01 OPTIONS box, the
04 ETOP ALTS box becomes available.
4. If you specify the ETOPN, ETOPXN, or ETOPXNL 01 Option, you can
also specify an 04 ETOP ALTS option in the corresponding box. For a list
of possible 04 ETOP ALTS options, see Table 3-2 on page 68.
NOTE The ETOPS II 01 OPTIONS listed in Table 3-1 can be used with any of the
other standard 01 OPTIONS options (except for the legacy ETOPS options). The
04 ETOP ALTS options listed in Table 3-2 are available only when certain ETOPS II
01 OPTIONS are used.
Table 3-1 Basic Flight Planner ETOPS II Flight Plan (01) Options
01 Option Explanation
FP, ETOPN Basic ETOPS II Option. This option invokes JetPlan’s ETOPS II feature. The
ETOPS critical fuel reserve computation includes three scenarios: Depressurized
Engine-Out, Depressurized All-Engine, and Pressurized Engine-Out.
NOTE When using the ETOPN, ETOPXN, and ETOPXNL 01 OPTIONS, you can
also specify certain 04 ETOP ALTS options. See Table 3-2 on page 68 for a list of
supported ETOP ALTS options.
FP, ETOPNL Basic ETOPS II Option with Diagnostics. This option invokes JetPlan’s ETOPS II
feature and produces the same plan as ETOPN. However, the flight plan output also
includes ETOPS diagnostic information.
FP, ETOPXN Extended ETOPS II Option. This option invokes JetPlan’s ETOPS II feature.
However, the flight plan output also includes an extended report for the Critical Fuel
Scenarios computation.
NOTE When using the ETOPN, ETOPXN, and ETOPXNL 01 OPTIONS, you can
also specify certain 04 ETOP ALTS options. See Table 3-2 on page 68 for a list of

up to 12 alternates.
Example: KSFO/PHOG
<airport code> ETOPS II Single Alternate. For ETOPS II, you can
where <airport code> is the code for a single enter a single alternate for the ETOPS segment. In this
ETOPS II alternate situation, there is no Equal Time Point. Therefore,
JetPlan bases the Critical Fuel Scenario on the
diversions to the alternate from the ETOPS Entry and
Exit Points.
Example: UHPP
Table 3-2 Basic Flight Planner ETOPS II Alternates (ETOPS ALTS) Options (continued)
Option Explanation
<airport code>[,Ice%1][,Ice%2] ETOPS II Icing Percentages. For ETOPS II, you can
optionally specify icing percentages (ICE%) for
diversion legs to determine what part of the route has
an icing condition. When you enter an icing
percentage, JetPlan computes the icing fuel in the
Critical Fuel Scenario as Ice% of the icing fuel
calculated for the entire diversion leg. The rules for
Ice% are as follows:
• <airport code> with no ice percentages – Critical
Fuel Scenarios are based on 100% icing.
• <airport code> with Ice%1 icing percentage –
Icing percentage is applied to the forward
diversion leg to the alternate.
• <airport code> with Ice%2 icing percentage –
Icing percentage is applied to the backward
diversion leg to the alternate. A comma (,) must
be used for the forward diversion leg—for
example, CYQX,,45.
• <airport code> with both Ice%1 and Ice%2 –
Ice%1 is applied to the forward diversion leg to
the alternate, and Ice%2 is applied to the
backward diversion leg to the alternate.
NOTE Computation of Critical Fuel Scenarios from
ETOPS entry and exit points to an ETOPS alternate
occurs only when there is a single alternate associated
with the ETOPS segment.
Table 3-2 Basic Flight Planner ETOPS II Alternates (ETOPS ALTS) Options (continued)
Option Explanation
AP=1<xxx> AP (APU Flag). For ETOPS II, you can specify a
where <xxx> are codes for the APU Flag value for the APU Flag in the 04 ETOP ALTS box.
The code you specify overrides the value of the (AP)
Auxiliary Power Unit Flag parameter in the Customer
Aircraft database. This option enables you to account
for special situations without having to change the
Customer Aircraft database record. For example,
because of a MEL, you might need to operate the
APU from takeoff to landing for a given flight.
The value of AP begins with 1 and is followed by a
combination of upper or lower case C, E, and D,
where:
• C – Calculates the APU fuel burn for the all-
engines depressurized scenario.
• E – Calculates the APU fuel burn for the one-less
engine depressurized scenario.
• D – Calculates the APU fuel burn for the one-
less engine pressurized scenario.
For example: AP=1CED, AP=1CE, AP=1ED, and
AP=1DC
For more information, see “Setting Up the Customer
Aircraft Database for ETOPS II” on page 19 and
Chapter 6, “APU Fuel Burn.”
NOTE Do not set this flag if the APU fuel burn is built
into the engine-out performance data to avoid double-
booking APU fuel in the critical fuel scenarios. If you
are not sure if the performance data includes the APU
fuel burn value, consult with your Jeppesen
Implementation Specialist or customer support
representative.
scmt=<SCM Set Deviation Time>,scmn= ETOPS II SCM Set. For ETOPS II, you can specify
<SCM Set Deviation Mode Title> an SCM dataset for use in the flight plan computation.
If none is specified, JetPlan uses the default SCM
dataset in the Customer Aircraft Fleet database
record. To specify a different SCM dataset, include
the SCM Set Deviation Time (scmt=), followed by the
SCM Set Deviation Mode Title (scmn=). Add the
parameters after the last alternate (and icing
percentage if applicable), separated from the last
alternate by a comma. For example:
CYQX/BIKF,40,scmt=180,scmn=180/320
In this example, the SCM Set corresponds to SCM
dataset #2 in the Customer Aircraft Fleet database
record.
Table 3-2 Basic Flight Planner ETOPS II Alternates (ETOPS ALTS) Options (continued)
Option Explanation
ST= APU Situation Code input. For ETOPS II, you can
or specify an APU Situation Code in the 04 ETOP ALTS
box. The Situation Code you specify overrides the
ST=<APU Situation Code>
value of the Situation Code parameter in the Customer
Aircraft database. This option enables you to account
for special situations without having to change the
Customer Aircraft database record. For example, you
might need to operate the APU during specific
intervals, such as from takeoff to landing, from
takeoff to exiting the ETOPS Area of Operations
(AOO), or from entering the ETOPS AOO to exiting
the AOO. You can also choose to exclude the APU
burn calculation completely.
The options for setting the Situation Code in the flight
plan request are as follows:
• ST=X – Calculate the APU fuel burn from the
POD to the last ETOPS exit point.
• ST=W – Calculate the APU fuel burn from the
POD to the POA.
• ST=E – Calculate the APU fuel burn for ETOPS
segments only.
• ST= (blank) – Do not calculate the APU fuel
burn.
The following example illustrates the use of the
Situation Code in an 04 ETOPS ALTS entry:
CYQX/BIKF,40,scmt=180,scmn=180/320,ST=X/CY
QX,,50/BIKF,20,
20/EINN,10,
The following example illustrates the use of the
Situation Code set to blank (no APU fuel burn
calculated):
EINN,,/CYJT,ST=,AP=1CDE

Multi-Segment ETOPS
In Multi-Segment ETOPS flight plan calculations, JetPlan automatically determines all the
ETOPS segments that exist for user-specified ETOPS airports. To activate Multi-Segment
ETOPS, define the Minimum Distance Between ETOPS Segments parameter and the ETOPS
alternates maximum distance factor in the Flight Brief database (see “Setting Up the Flight
Brief Database for ETOPS II” on page 54).
JetPlan treats consecutive ETOPS segments that are beyond a configurable distance from one
another as two separate ETOPS segments, as opposed to combining them. If the distance
between any two ETOPS segments is greater than the value of the Minimum Distance
Between ETOPS Segments parameter, the system considers the segments as separate. If the
distance between the ETOPS segments in equal to or less than Minimum Distance Between
ETOPS Segments parameter, JetPlan the considers the two ETOPS segments and the route
between them as one ETOPS segment. When the Minimum Distance Between ETOPS
Segments value is set to 9999 (the default), then all ETOPS segments are combined into one.
JetPlan determines which ETPs and alternates to include and which to omit based on a
configurable distance between the abeam points of the forward and backward alternates. For
each pair of ETOPS alternates, JetPlan determines their relative nearness to one another using
the value of the ETOPS Alternates Maximum Distance Factor. JetPlan calculates the distance
between the backward and forward alternates as the great circle (not route) distance between
the route point abeam of the backward alternate and the route point abeam of the forward
alternate. For each ETOPS alternate pair that is closer together than the ETOPS Alternates
Maximum Distance Factor, JetPlan computes the ETP associated critical fuel, and early and
late arrival times The system also includes these ETPs in the ETP summary output on the
flight plan and as waypoints in the navigation log.
JetPlan omits any ETP if its associated alternates are farther apart than the ETOPS alternates
maximum distance factor unless they occur in an ETOPS segment. The omitted ETPs are not
considered as a critical points but are reported in the ETOPS diagnostic part of the flight plan.
JetPlan also excludes any alternate that has no critical points associated with it. JetPlan
excludes these alternates from the set of ETOPS alternates and, subsequently, from critical
fuel and suitability calculations. For each excluded alternate, JetPlan produces an alert.
Figure 4.2 illustrates the single-segment ETOPS approach to this calculation. The flight
planner must select another suitable alternate to provide coverage over the entire orange
segment because a portion of the route is outside the selected ETOPS alternate range radius
rings (big circles).
Figure 4.3 illustrates ETOPS segment determination using the Multi-Segment ETOPS settings
in the Flight Brief database. If the matching Flight Brief record is set to combine ETOPS
Segments less than 2075 NM apart, then JetPlan treats the two segments separately.
Otherwise they are considered one segment (including all the route in between).
Figure 4.3. Determining ETOPS Segments Using Flight Brief Database Settings
Figure 4.4 illustrates how JetPlan associates EEPs and EXPs with alternates. If the Flight Brief
database record is set to combine ETOPS segments less than 2075 NM apart, then the EEP and
EXP occurring prior to the ETP are associated with the backward alternate for Suitability
Time Evaluation. Those occurring after the ETP are associated with the forward alternate. If
the ETP is omitted from the report, then Critical Fuel calculations are also based on the EEPs
and EXPs.
Figure 4.5 illustrates how JetPlan determines whether or not to exclude an ETP. If the ETP
falls within an ETOPS segment, and/or the distance between the points abeam of the alternates
is less than the Max Distance Between Alternates in the Flight Brief database, then the ETP is
used for Critical Fuel and Suitability Times calculations. Otherwise, the ETP is excluded for
those purposes. In this example the ETP is not within an ETOPS segment and the airports are
far apart, so the ETP is not reported on the flight plan, used for suitability calculations, or used
for critical fuel calculation.
• For alternate FMMI, critical fuel and suitability calculations are made from
EEP1 and EXP1.
• For alternate HECA, critical fuel and suitability calculations are made from
EEP2 and EXP2.
• The ETP is omitted from reporting on the flight plan.
• Both ETOPS segments are within the approved coverage circle of the
alternates, so no coverage alert is issued.
• Icing penalties
• Wind bias and conservatism
• Missed approach fuel
The following sections describe how to use customer database settings to comply with JAR-
OPS 1.245.
When the Temp-Based Icing Penalty in the Flight Brief database is set to On, the icing
penalties are calculated using the following parameters in the Customer Aircraft database:
The icing penalty calculation for each scenario is controlled by the following letters that can
be included in the Anti-Ice Flag (AI) or Ice Drag Flag (ID):
For more information on ETOPS parameters in the Customer Aircraft database, see “Setting
Up the Customer Aircraft Database for ETOPS II” on page 19. For specific procedures on
creating or modifying a Customer Aircraft record, see the Help file for the Customer Aircraft
database on [Link].
Without an active Flight Brief database record, the 5% wind bias defaults to On. To exclude
the 5% wind bias in the ETOPS II calculations, create an E (EU-ETOPS) type Flight Brief
record and set the 5% Wind Bias parameter to Off to turn off the wind bias calculation. For
more information on ETOPS parameters in the Flight Brief database, see “Setting Up the
Flight Brief Database for ETOPS II” on page 54. For specific procedures on creating or
modifying a Flight Brief record, see the Help file for the Flight Brief database on [Link].
NOTE In the FLE format, ETOPS II extended output includes the missed approach
fuel in the MAP row of the extended output.
For more information on ETOPS parameters in the Customer Aircraft database, see “Setting
Up the Customer Aircraft Database for ETOPS II” on page 19. For specific procedures on
creating or modifying a Customer Aircraft record, see the Help file for the Customer Aircraft
database on [Link].
The JetPlan APU parameters in the Customer Aircraft database provide control over planning
APU fuel for ETOPS flights, both for the primary mission and for each diversion. ETOPS
regulations require the operator to comply with manufacturer instructions for APU use. The
aircraft manufacturer details the APU fuel burn scenario in which the APU must run. This
information is included in the Flight Manuals provided to the operator.
You can set the fuel burn scenario for an aircraft by setting the Situation Code (ST) in the
Customer Aircraft database. See Table 6-1 for the Situation Code settings and the calculation
performed for each setting. In addition, the following APU-related parameters can be set in the
Customer Aircraft database:
See “Setting Up the Customer Aircraft Database for ETOPS II” on page 19 for more
information about these parameters.
You can set the fuel burn scenario for an aircraft by setting the Situation Code (ST) in the
Customer Aircraft database. Table 6-1 includes revised logic for ETOPS II regarding the
calculations associated with the Situation Codes.
APU Burn for ST=W APU fuel is planned to be burned at the APU Burn
rate (BR) starting at takeoff and so that the last of the
APU fuel is burned on the segment arriving at the
POA.
Note: The segment burn for every segment
effectively has an additional lbs/time fuel flow bias
equal to the BR parameter.
Situation Code = E APU Fuel Amount for ST=E APU fuel is equal to the flight time from ETOPS
Entry to ETOPS Exit multiplied by the APU Burn
rate (BR).
Example: If the EEP occurs at 0128 into flight, and
the EXP occurs at 0421 into flight, then flight time
between the two is 0253. If BR = 100, then APU
Fuel is 288lbs.
APU Burn for ST=E APU fuel is planned to be carried unburned to the
ETOPS Entry Point, and then burned at the APU
Burn rate (BR), starting at the ETOPS Entry Point
and so that the last of the APU Fuel is burned on the
segment arriving at the ETOPS Exit Point.
Note: The segment burn for every segment, starting
at the EEP and ending at the EXP, effectively has an
additional lbs/hr fuel flow bias equal to the BR
parameter.
APU Burn for ST=X APU Fuel is planned to be burned at the APU Burn
rate (BR), starting at takeoff and so that the last of
the APU Fuel is burned on the segment arriving at
the ETOPS Exit Point.
Note: The segment burn for every segment, starting
at takeoff and ending at EXP, will effectively have
an additional lbs/hr fuel flow bias equal to the BR
parameter.
Situation Code = N APU Fuel Amount for ST=N Using the Situation Code N directs the system to
(None) ignore the Situation Code parameter and compute
the flight as if the Situation Code parameter is set to
None.
NOTES:
• The weight of APU Fuel is included in takeoff weight.
• Additional trip fuel is included to account for the “cost to carry” the APU fuel.
• APU Fuel is not offset by ETOPS ADD.
• When ST is set to a value other than “off” (such as not 0 [zero]), and BR is greater than zero, then APU
Fuel is never zero.
• APU Fuel is accounted for separately from EXTRA in the fuel block.
• APU Fuel remaining at the critical points is part of the Fuel on Board and is considered burnable in the
ETOPS critical fuel calculations.
• APU Fuel is excluded from the planned landing weight. Note that the landing weight derived from the sum
of the aircraft operating weight + payload + fuel remaining as shown in the flight plan body is equal to the
landing weight listed in the flight plan summary. Fuel remaining at the POA includes reserves,
contingencies, ETOPS ADD, and EXTRA, but not APU Fuel.

The speed modes displayed in the Equal Time Point Data for each ETP derive from the cruise
modes in the Aircraft Fleet database record. JetPlan looks for an SCM dataset in the Aircraft
Fleet database record. If it cannot find an SCM dataset, JetPlan generates an alert. Only the
cruise mode is included in the output for DECOMP 2 ENG, DECOMP 1 ENG, and PRESS 1
ENG. However, the final descent and hold calculations are also based on the Aircraft Fleet
database record. If the data is present for the aircraft, JetPlan also uses the initial emergency
descent modes, but they are not required for a valid ETOPS II plan.
The output includes each diversion airport associated with the ETP. For each diversion airport,
the output includes two scenarios: the All Engine Pressurized (ALL E) and the One-Engine
out Pressurized (1 ENG). The scenarios are listed in the CONFIG row.

The adequate airport radius value derives from the default SCM dataset in the Aircraft Fleet
database record. The adequate airports listed in the output are identified as adequate in the
Customer Airport Fleet database record (the ETOPS Adequate Alternate parameter is set to
Yes). You can also add or subtract adequate airports through the flight plan request. The
ETOPS Segment Computation output indicates the source of the listed airports.
Neither the ETOPS Adequate Alternate parameter nor the ETOPS Suitable Alternate
parameter in the Airport Fleet database record needs to be set for JetPlan to generate an
ETOPS II plan. However, if the ETOPS Adequate Alternate parameter is not set, JetPlan does
not output the list of adequate airports. If the ETOPS Suitable Alternate parameter is not set,
JetPlan generates the following alert message, where XXXX is the ICAO identifier the divert
airport that does not have the parameter set:
JetPlan can also generate an alert if the suitable airport is below the minimum values as set in
the Customer Airport Fleet database.

01 OPTIONS
NOTE The Glossary includes definitions of special ETOPS terms used in this guide.
You can also refer to the JetPlan User Manual or ask your Jeppesen Customer
Support representative for assistance.
Critical Fuel Requirement — The end result of the ETOPS computations used to ensure
that the aircraft has sufficient fuel to fly the worst case diversion leg in the worst case
scenario. The three standard scenarios are accounted for on each diversion leg and fuel
to meet the worst scenario must be on board according to the flight plan at the critical
point.
Glossary
Critical Point (Equal Time Point) — The ETP at which the ETOPS Critical Fuel Required
is the closest to, or exceeds, the Planned Fuel On Board.
ETOPS Alternate — Suitable airports that provide coverage of the entire AOO.
ETP — Equal Time Points. Points along the route at which the crew can expect to change
which airport to divert to in case of an emergency.
ST — Situation Code
Suitability Times — The earliest and the latest time the aircraft can be expected to arrive at
the ETOPS alternate airport, depending on the critical points, and the slowest and
fastest expected speeds the aircraft can be expected to fly on a diversion to that airport.
