Document Revision History
Version Release Date Changes Include
1.4 April 11, 2018 • General revision of format and more details added to existing
topics.
• Updates to error and alert messages.
• Updated content on Time-Limited Systems.
• Addition of the Multi-Segment ETOPS feature.
• Addition of the APU Situation Flag Code (ST) option, which lets
you specify an APU Situation Code in your flight plan request. The
Situation Code you specify overrides the value of the Situation
Code parameter in the Customer Aircraft database.
• Addition of the APU Flag (AP) option, which lets you specify an
APU Flag code in your flight plan request. The APU Flag code you
specify overrides the value of the Auxiliary Power Unit Flag
parameter in the Customer Aircraft database.
• Revised information on the Point of Departure (POD) and Point of
Arrival (POA). JetPlan no longer automatically considers the POD
and POA as adequate ETOPS airports. The same rules that apply to
designating any airport as an adequate ETOPS airport now apply to
the POD and the POA.

About the ETOPS II Startup Guide


The ETOPS II Startup Guide covers setting up the Extended Operations (ETOPS II) feature
for use in JetPlan or a flight planning product that interfaces with JetPlan, such as [Link]
or JetPlanner. The ETOPS II feature allows operators to perform flight planning tasks
associated with ETOPS operations while complying with Part 121 and Part 135 of the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) ETOPS regulations.

Audience and Purpose


The ETOPS II Startup Guide is intended for Jeppesen Implementation Specialists, support
personnel, account managers, and customers who want to understand how to configure and
use the ETOPS II feature.

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].

The ETOPS II Startup Guide covers the following topics:

• ETOPS II overview
• ETOPS II functionality in JetPlan
• ETOPS II customer preference setup
• ETOPS II customer database setup
• ETOPS II flight planning in JetPlan

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.

Overview of ETOPS II
About the ETOPS II Feature in JetPlan

Current ETOPS Regulations


In 2008, the FAA issued “AC 120-42B – Extended Operations (ETOPS and Polar
Operations),” containing requirements for ETOPS that were later encoded into FAA
regulations such as FAR 121.161. In Europe, regulations governing ETOPS are documented in
“AMC-20 Amendment 7 - Annex II AMC 20-6 rev. 2,” issued by the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA).

About the ETOPS II Feature in JetPlan


NOTE In Jeppesen’s flight planning products, the term ETOPS II always refers to
Extended Operations.

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:

• Equal Time Points (ETPs) – An ETP is a point on the route that


is located at equal flying time from each of an associated pair of
backward and forward ETOPS alternates.
• ETOPS Entry Points (EEPs) – An EEP is the first point on the
route of an ETOPS flight, determined using a one-engine
inoperative cruise speed under standard conditions in still air,
that is — (1) More than 60 minutes from an adequate airport for
airplanes with two engines, or (2) More than 180 minutes from
an adequate airport for airplanes with more than two engines.
This is the point at which the aircraft enters an ETOPS area of
operation.

About the ETOPS II Feature in JetPlan

• ETOPS Exit Points (EXPs) – An EXP is the point on the route


where the aircraft exits an ETOPS area of operation, meaning it
is no longer more than 60 minutes (or 180 minutes for airplanes
with more than two engines) from an adequate airport.

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:

• Engine loss and aircraft depressurization, referred to in JetPlan


as Depressurized Engine-Out
• Aircraft cabin depressurization, referred to in JetPlan as
Depressurized All-Engine
• Engine loss, referred to in JetPlan as Pressurized Engine-Out

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.

Overview of ETOPS II
About the ETOPS II Feature in JetPlan

Time-Limited JetPlan provides Time-Limited Systems (TLS) regulatory


System (TLS) information for ETOPS diversions that exceed 180 minutes. When
Summary the following conditions are true, the flight plan includes the ETOPS
TLS Compliance Summary, TLS Compliance Summaries for each
ETP and each scenario, and TLS diagnostic information:

• The flight plan format supports display of the TLS output.


• The Calculate TLS (TLSF) parameter in the Aircraft Fleet
Database is set to Yes.
• The Cargo Fire Suppression Time Limit (FS) parameter in the
Customer Aircraft Database is greater than 0.

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:

• Treats consecutive ETOPS segments that are beyond a


configurable distance from one another as two separate ETOPS
segments, as opposed to combining them
• Determines which ETPs the system can omit based on a
configurable distance between the abeam points of the forward
and backward alternates
• Excludes any alternate that has no critical points associated with
it from the set of ETOPS alternates and from critical fuel and
suitability calculations.

For more information on multi-segment flight planning, see “Setting


Up the Flight Brief Database for ETOPS II” on page 54 and
Chapter 4, “Multi-Segment ETOPS.”

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:

• Your aircraft records must include the necessary performance data


The Generic Aircraft database records on which your Customer Aircraft
records are based must include the appropriate performance data to support
the ETOPS scenarios. If the required performance data is not available for
the aircraft, contact Jeppesen Customer Support.
• You must have access to your customer databases
You or a designated authorized user must have access to [Link] to
make changes to the following customer databases:
– Customer Aircraft
– Aircraft Fleet
– Airport
– Airport Fleet
– Flight Brief

IMPORTANT Inaccurate or incomplete configuration of these databases puts the


accuracy of your ETOPS flight plan computations at risk. Jeppesen recommends
contacting your Jeppesen Implementation Specialist before using ETOPS II to
confirm your databases are set up correctly. After implementation of ETOPS II,
contact Jeppesen Customer Support if you have questions about your database
settings.

• Your flight plan format must support ETOPS II output


You can use your own format if it has been modified to support ETOPS II,
or you can use an existing format recommended by Jeppesen.
• The ETOPS Carry-over Flag customer preference must be set or your format
must include the ETOPCO keyword. See “About User Preferences and
ETOPS II” on page 14.

About User Preferences and ETOPS II

NOTE Only Jeppesen Customer Support personnel can change customer


preference settings. If you have questions about your customer preference settings,
contact Jeppesen Customer Support.

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.

ETOPS Carry-over Flag Preference


The purpose of JetPlan ETOPS calculations is to ensure that the aircraft has enough fuel on
board to perform [Link] ETOPS Carry-over Flag customer preference determines the
default behavior in case the aircraft does not have enough fuel on board to perform ETOPS, a
condition called ETOPS Critical Fuel Shortfall (CFS). The preference settings control the
following:

• Whether or not to perform mitigation by adding fuel to cover the CFS.


• Where to account for the ETOPS added fuel value in the flight plan output.

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.

Meeting Prerequisites

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.

Table 2-1 ETOPS Carry-over Flag Settings

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.

ETOPCO in the Flight Plan Format or Flight Plan Request


The flight plan format can be modified with the ETOPCO flag, which has the same settings as
the ETOPS Carry-over Flag customer preference. The ETOPCO flag in the format overrides
or eliminates the need for the ETOPS Carry-over Flag setting in the customer preference
database. In addition, some flight planning products that interface with JetPlan let you
override the ETOPS Carry-over Flag customer preference setting in the flight plan request.
However, this option is not supported in the JetPlan Engine command line interface. For more
information about these options, contact your Jeppesen Implementation Specialist or Jeppesen
Customer Support.

Parameter Required/Optional Notes


(HF) Holding Fuel Flow This value is ignored in
ETOPS II flight plan
calculations.

(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.

Setting the ETOPS Section Parameters


The ETOPS section in the Customer Aircraft database enables you to control the relevant
performance criteria used in the ETOPS flight plan calculation. Parameters in the ETOPS
section are required for the CFS calculation.

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.

Setting Up the Aircraft Fleet Database for ETOPS II

IMPORTANT This guide provides supplementary information on ETOPS II


parameters only. For complete definitions, guidelines, and step-by-step procedures,
see the Help file for this database on [Link].

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.

SCM Dataset Order of Precedence


JetPlan applies the appropriate SCM data to a flight plan using the following logic:

• User interfaces capable of doing so can identify an SCM dataset to use as an


override to any stored default dataset.
• If no user input is submitted as an override, JetPlan uses the default SCM
dataset as defined in the City Pair Fleet database record.
• If JetPlan cannot derive a default SCM dataset from the City Pair Fleet
database record, it uses the default ETOPS SCM dataset in the Customer
Aircraft Fleet database record.
• If the Customer Aircraft Fleet database record does not contain a default
SCM dataset, JetPlan fails the flight plan.

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.

ETOPS II Setup
• Required parameters are outlined in red.
• Default ETOPS Diversion Mode Title
(DMT) and Default ETOPS Deviation
Time (SD) are required. Together, they
define your default SCM dataset.
• Range Ring Radius (SR#) is required
and specifies the approved ETOPS area
of operation radius for ETOPS
alternates.
• Adequate Airport Radius (AR#)
specifies the small circle radius for the
ETOPS area of operations entry and exit

• JetPlan uses 1LE Depressurized ETP
TAS (SO#) to calculate the location of
1LE depressurized equal time points
(ETPs). If 1LE Depressurized ETP TAS
is not set, JetPlan uses the ETP
Depressurized TAS (EA) parameter in
the Customer Aircraft database. If
neither value is set, the GETARC 9
error occurs.
• Setting Initial Descent is recommended
for each scenario. If not set, JetPlan
assumes zero time, fuel, and distance
initial descent. (Descent modes must be
present in the aircraft data file.)
• Setting cruise mode is recommended for
each scenario. If not set, JetPlan uses
ETP All Engine Depressurized Cruise
Mode (EC) and ETP 1LE
Pressurized/Depressurized Cruise Mode
(EC1) in the Customer Aircraft
database. If no cruise mode is set,
JetPlan generates an alert.
• Time-Limited Systems (TLS) Fire
parameters are required for TLS
calculations. If not set, JetPlan cannot
provide compliance for approval times
greater than 180 minutes.

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.

ETOPS II

IMPORTANT This guide provides supplementary information on ETOPS II


parameters only. For complete definitions, guidelines, and step-by-step procedures,
see the Help file for this database on [Link].

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.

-- ETOPS APPROACH
• A Customer Airport record must exist for any airport used in an

ETOPS flight plan.
ETOPS Visibility MIN 9000 FEET
• The ETOPS Approach parameters define Ceiling Minimum

• Ceiling and visibility minimum values defined in the Customer
Airport Fleet database override these settings in the Airport
database.
• If no minimum values are defined, JetPlan assumes that the
airport is suitable in any weather.

Setting Up the Airport Fleet Database for ETOPS II

IMPORTANT This guide provides supplementary information on ETOPS II


parameters only. For complete definitions, guidelines, and step-by-step procedures,
see the Help file for this database on [Link].

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.

Overriding Airport Fleet Database Records on a Flight Plan


Request
Customers who operate under ETOPS rules typically create Airport Fleet records for adequate
airports supporting acceptable ETOPS entry and exit points for every potential flight.
However, you can also run ETOPS II flight plans without first having to set up or modify the
Airport Fleet database. In the [Link] Basic Flight Planner, you can use options on the
04 Line to add to, subtract from, or replace all the adequate airports in the Airport Fleet
database. For example, if an airport is currently unavailable due to a NOTAM, you can
exclude that airport from the flight plan request and submit an alternative adequate airport
directly in the flight plan request. For more information, see “Adequate Airports” in Table 3-2,
“Basic Flight Planner ETOPS II Alternates (ETOPS ALTS) Options,” on page 68.

Setting Up the Flight Brief Database for ETOPS II


The Flight Brief database enables you to automatically apply certain data or conditions to
certain flight plan requests. When you create a flight brief record, you select a flight brief type,
which defines the type of data or condition that you want to apply automatically. Then you use
the selection criteria options in the database to limit application of the data or condition to
certain flight plan requests. For each flight plan request, JetPlan checks the Flight Brief
database for a record that contains criteria that match elements in the request—for example,
the POD, fleet number, flight number, or date. If a matching record exists, JetPlan applies the
data or condition defined by the flight brief record to the flight plan calculation.

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:

• Specify whether or not JetPlan applies a 5% wind penalty to ETOPS II flight


plan calculations.
• Specify whether or not JetPlan applies a temperature-based icing penalty
logic to ETOPS II flight plan calculations.
• Specify which ETOPS critical fuel scenarios are computed and used in the
ETOPS uplift calculations and which critical fuel scenarios are displayed in
the extended output block on the flight plan.

• Specify values that support multi-segment ETOPS flight planning


functionality, which enables you to do the following:
– Treat consecutive ETOPS segments that are beyond a configurable
distance from one another as two separate ETOPS segments, as
opposed to combining them
– Determine which ETPs the system can omit based on a configurable
distance between the abeam points of the forward and backward
alternates
• Specify buffer time parameters that extend the early and late arrival times at
ETOPS alternates. JetPlan includes the suitable times for an alternate in the
Airport Suitable Time block of the flight plan using the following
calculations:
– Suitable Early Arrival Time = Early Arrival Time - Early Buffer
Time.
– Suitable Late Arrival Time = Late Arrival Time + Late Buffer
For example, for EU ETOPS, the values would be set in the Flight Brief
database as follows:
– ETOPS Early Buffer = 0 minutes
– ETOPS Late Buffer = 60 minutes
For each ETOPS alternate computed for the plan, the JetPlan provides the
following information on the flight plan:
– The airport ID in ICAO format
– The ETOPS early arrival time, including early and late time buffers
– The ETOPS late arrival time, including early and late time buffers
For an example of the Airport Suitable Time block in a flight plan, see

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

computation for alternates Multi-Segment ETOPS multiplies by the range ring radius used in the flight
closer than <n> times the calculations plan to define a maximum distance between two
range-ring radius sequential ETOPS alternates. The system uses the
distance value to determine whether to include the
ETP between the alternates in the flight plan.
The system computes the ETP, associated critical
fuel, and early and late arrival time (EAT/LAT)
values for each ETOPS alternate pair that is closer
together than the maximum distance. The system
also includes these ETPs in the ETP summary
output on the flight plan and as waypoints in the
navigation log. ETPs for alternate pairs that are
farther apart than the maximum distance are
omitted from the flight plan results unless they
occur during an ETOPS segment.
NOTE The applicable range ring radius is stored in
the Speed Cruise Mode (SCM) dataset that is used
to compute ETOPS for the flight plan. The SCM sets
are stored in the City Pair Fleet and Aircraft Fleet
databases.
NOTE If you do not enter a value for this
parameter, the system applies no limit to the
distance between two sequential ETOPS alternates.
In this case, the system computes ETPs and the
associated critical fuel and EAT/LAT values between
each alternate.
NOTE If you enter 0.000 for this parameter, the
system treats each sequential ETOPS alternate as a
standalone alternate and does not compute the ETP
between them.

You can run ETOPS II flight plans with several of Jeppesen’s flight planning products,
including [Link]’s Basic Flight Planner and JetPlanner. Each application has its own
graphical user interface (GUI) and its own method of selecting flight plan options. However,
the same ETOPS II flight plan options are used in all the interfaces.

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

About the ETOPS II Options


In the [Link] Basic Flight Planner Form dialog box, you can enter ETOPS II flight plan
options in the 01 OPTIONS box and ETOPS alternates options in the 04 ETOP ALTS box.
The following tables describe these options in detail. For information on how to use these
options in the Basic Flight Planner, see “ETOPS II Flight Plan Input Examples” on page 74.

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.

ETOPS II Flight Plan Options


Table 3-1 lists ETOPS II flight plan options that you can specify in the 01 OPTIONS box in
the Basic Flight Planner Form dialog box. The ETOPS II flight plan options invoke
ETOPS II functionality and instruct the application to generate an ETOPS II flight plan using
the other information you provide in the Basic Flight Planner. With some ETOPS II 0 Options,
you can specify additional ETOPS II options in the 04 ETOP ALTS box.

More details are provided in Table 3-1 and in Table 3-2.

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

closest to the reclear leg exit point. In the plan to the reclear destination, the EAT or
LAT for the closest alternate might differ from the values computed in the plan to the
intended destination.

ETOPS II Alternates Options


Table 3-2 lists the ETOPS alternates options. In the Basic Flight Planner, specify ETOPS
alternate information in the 04 ETOP ALTS box. The 04 ETOP ALTS box is available only
when the specified 01 Option is one of the following: ETOPN, ETOPXN, and ETOPXNL. For
more information on the ETOPS II 01 Options, see “ETOPS II Flight Plan Options” on
page 67.

Table 3-2 Basic Flight Planner ETOPS II Alternates (ETOPS ALTS) Options

Option Explanation
<airport code>/<airport code>/<airport code> ETOPS II Alternates. For ETOPS II, the ICAO or
where <airport code> is the code for an ETOPS II IATA codes for the alternates are entered in the
alternate, up to 12 alternates, each separated by a slash 04 ETOP ALTS box with each alternate separated by
a slash (/). If the POD or POA is desired as an
alternate, you must explicitly include it. You can enter
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.

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
For more information on APU Situation Codes see
“Setting Up the Customer Aircraft Database for
ETOPS II” on page 19 and Chapter 6, “APU Fuel
Burn.”

Option Explanation
Adequate Airports

AA=<airport code> Enables you to submit a list of up to five airports as


additions to those designated as adequate in the
Customer Airport Fleet database.
NOTE You can also subtract an airport. When you
submit an airport as both an addition and a subtraction,
the subtraction takes precedence, and JetPlan
excludes the airport from the ETOPS entry and exit
point computations.
NOTE JetPlan does not automatically consider the
POD and POA as adequate ETOPS airports. The
same rules that apply to designating any airport as an
ETOPS adequate airport apply to the POD and the
POA.

AS=<airport code> Enables you to submit a list of up to five airports as


subtractions from those designated as adequate in the
Customer Airport Fleet database.
NOTE You can also add an airport. When you submit
an airport as both an addition and a subtraction, the
subtraction takes precedence, and JetPlan excludes
the airport from the ETOPS entry and exit point
computations.

AR=<airport code> NOTE Additions to or subtractions from adequate


airports in the Customer Airport Fleet database can
result in a set of airports that does not overlap the
route, creating no ETOPS entry or exit points. In this
case, the ETOPS entry point is located at the POD,
and the ETOPS exit point is located at the POA.
This option enables you to submit a list of up to ten
airports as replacements for those designated as
adequate in the Customer Airport Fleet database.
When you specify the replacement list, JetPlan
computes the ETOPS entry and exit points based
solely on this list. Airports in the Customer Airport
Fleet database or specified with the AS or AA option
are ignored.
When you do not specify an adequate list, JetPlan
computes the ETOPS entry and exit points based on
the set of adequate airports by doing the following:
• Including airports marked adequate in the
Customer Airport Fleet database
• Including airports submitted as additions (with
the AA option)
• Excluding airports submitted as substitutions
(with the AS options)

About Multi-Segment ETOPS

About Multi-Segment ETOPS


Two types of ETOPS segments are possible: single-segment and multi-segment. In a single-
segment ETOPS flight plan, JetPlan uses only the first EEP and the last EXP and considers the
route between these points as one, single ETOPS segment. The EEP is closest to the POD, and
the EXP is closest to the POA. For example, on a flight over the North Pacific from South Asia
to Memphis, JetPlan locates the entry and exit points of the ETOPS segment near Japan and
near Alaska. JetPlan ignores adequate airports in between these points. The missing
intermediate non-ETOPS segment or segments forces operators to plan additional suitable
ETOPS alternates that are not needed in all circumstances, such as for cargo flights.

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 4.3 illustrates ETOPS segment determination using the Multi-Segment ETOPS settings

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 4.4 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.

About the Multi-Segment ETOPS Calculation

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.

Figure 4.5. Determining Whether to Report an ETP

The final result of the calculation is as follows:

• 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.

Modifying the Icing Penalty

Modifying the Icing Penalty


The default ETOPS II icing penalty calculation uses the 10 percent comparison of ice-
accumulation to anti-ice as specified in FAA 121.646. You can use a setting in the Flight Brief
database to change the icing penalty calculation to a Temperature-Based icing penalty
calculation. Create an E (EU-ETOPS) type Flight Brief record and set the Temp-Based Icing
Penalty parameter to On. 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].

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:

• Icing Temperature (IT)


• Anti-Ice Flag (AI)
• Anti-Ice Factor—You can separately set three factors for each of the ETOPS
scenarios: Depressurized Engine Out, Depressurized All Engine, and
Pressurized Engine Out. The anti-ice factors are AI LRC FAC (AL), AI
LRC FAC (AE), and AI P1LE FAC (AEP), respectively.
• Ice Drag Flag (ID)
• Ice Drag Factor—You can separately set three factors for each of the
ETOPS scenarios. The ice drag factors are IDRAG LRC FAC (IL), IDRAG
1LE FAC (IE), and IDRAG P1LE FAC (IEP) respectively.

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):

• Letter C in AI or ID causes the penalty to be calculated for the


Depressurized All-Engine scenario.
• Letter E in AI or ID causes the penalty to be calculated for the
Depressurized Engine-Out scenario.
• Letter D in AI or ID causes the penalty to be calculated for the Pressurized
Engine-Out (Driftdown) scenario
• Letter I in AI or ID causes the penalty to be calculated for each scenario (if
ID or AI has CED) when the temperature along the diversion is less than or
equal to the value of IT.

The default ETOPS II wind bias calculation applies a 5% wind bias as specified in
FAA 121.646. You can turn off the wind bias calculation using a setting in the Flight Brief
database.

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].

Adding Missed Approach Fuel

Adding Missed Approach Fuel


You can optionally include missed approach fuel in the uplift for each diversion by setting the
Missed Approach Flag (ML) and the Missed Approach Burn (MB) parameters in the
Customer Aircraft database as follows:

• Set the ML parameter to On (1) to include missed approach fuel.


• Set the MB parameter to the amount of missed approach fuel you want
JetPlan to include

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].

About APU Situation Codes and APU Fuel


Burn
ETOPS rules require at least three independent sources of AC power for an airplane to be
ETOPS Type Design Approved. This can be accomplished by a variety of configurations,
including Auxiliary Power Units (APUs), more than one generator per engine, Hydraulic
Motor Generators, and Ram Air Turbines (A320), to name a few.

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:

• (BR) APU Burn Rate


• (AP) Auxiliary Power Unit Flag
• (AU) Auxiliary Power Unit Burn
• (AZ) Unloaded Depressurized APU Burn
• (AY) Loaded Driftdown APU Burn

See “Setting Up the Customer Aircraft Database for ETOPS II” on page 19 for more
information about these parameters.

APU Fuel Burn
About APU Situation Codes and APU Fuel Burn

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.

Table 6-1 APU Situation Code Calculations

Situation Code Calculation


Situation Code = W APU Fuel Amount for ST=W APU fuel is equal to the flight time from takeoff to
landing at the POA, multiplied by the APU Burn
rate (BR).
Example: If flight duration is 5hrs 53min, and BR =
100 lbs/hr, then APU Fuel is 588lbs.

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 Fuel Burn
About APU Situation Codes and APU Fuel Burn

Table 6-1 APU Situation Code Calculations

Situation Code Calculation


Situation Code = X APU Fuel Amount for ST=X APU Fuel is equal to the flight time from takeoff to
the ETOPS Exit Point, multiplied by the APU Burn
rate (BR).
Example: If the time from takeoff to the EXP is
03+53, and BR = 100 lbs./hr., then APU Fuel is 388
lbs.

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.

Suitable Airports Times


Figure 7.7 illustrates the Suitable Airport Times area of the flight plan. Because rules differ
between authorities, being able to modify parameters used to determine early and late arrival
time is important. You can store early and late buffer times in the Flight Brief database.
JetPlan then uses these defined buffer times in the calculations that determine suitable early
and late arrival times. By setting the values appropriately, you can meet EU ETOPS
requirements and those of other authorities if they differ. See “Setting Up the Flight Brief
Database for ETOPS II” on page 54 for more information on setting the early and late buffer
times and how JetPlan uses those times in the calculations.

• The Equal Time Point (ETP), Critical Point, entry point (EEP), or exit point
(EXP) at which the most critical fuel scenario occurs
• Excess fuel, if any
The fuel quantities are reported in the units used in the flight plan computation— kilograms or
pounds.

9 – Displays the Fuel on Board (FOB) at the critical point.
10 – Displays the excess fuel (EXC) at the critical point.
11 – Displays the time enroute from POD to the critical point (TIME TO
ETP). This value is the amount of time it takes to get to the ETP, not the
time of arrival at the ETP. For example, if a flight departs at 1200, and it
takes 3 hrs 0 min to arrive at the ETP, this time will be 3+00, not 1500.
12 – Displays the time of flight from the critical point—including the ETP
labeled as the critical ETP—to the alternate (TIME TO ALT). This value
equals the cruise time plus the descent time.

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.

Understanding ETOPS II Flight Plan Output
About the ETOPS II Flight Plan Output

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:

ALERT TAG EAPTCHK


ALERT MESSAGE XXXX IS FLAGGED AS NOT SUITABLE IN APFDB.

JetPlan can also generate an alert if the suitable airport is below the minimum values as set in
the Customer Airport Fleet database.

Multi-ETOPS Segments Diagnostic Information


Figure 7.15 shows the diagnostic information section for Multi-Segment ETOPS. This flight
plan includes only one segment. In a multi-segment ETOPS flight plan, this section contains

Glossary

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.

AOO — Area of Operation—For turbine engine-powered airplanes with two engines, an


area beyond 60 minutes from an adequate airport—or with more than two engines, an
area beyond 180 minutes from an adequate airport—and within the authorized ETOPS
Maximum Diversion Time approved for the operation being conducted. An ETOPS
Area of Operation is calculated at the Approved One-Engine Inoperative Cruise Speed
under standard conditions in still air.

APU — Auxiliary Power Unit

APU BR — APU Burn Rate

CADB — Customer Aircraft Database

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

CFS — Critical Fuel Scenario

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.

EAT — Early Arrival Time

EB — Early Buffer Time

EEP — ETOPS Entry Point

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.

ETE — Estimated Time Enroute

EXP — ETOPS Exit Point

FAR — Federal Aviation Regulation

LAT — Late Arrival Time

LB — Late Buffer Time

POD — Point of Departure

POA — Point of Arrival

Glossary

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.
