Table 4.5 ETOPS Maintenance Program Specifications
The Operators process shall ensure the ETOPS maintenance program complies with all requirements
of the Type Certificate Holder and the Authority, to include:

i) The titles and numbers of all airworthiness modifications, additions and changes that were
made to qualify aircraft systems for ETOPS are provided to the Authority;

ii) Any changes to maintenance and training procedures, practices or limitations established in
the qualification for ETOPS are approved by the Authority before being adopted;

iii) A reliability reporting program that is functional prior to approval and continued after
approval (i.e., new aircraft type);

iv) Prompt implementation of required modifications and inspections that could affect
propulsion system reliability;

v) Procedures to prevent an aircraft from being dispatched for extended range operation after
power-unit shutdown or primary system failure on a previous flight until the cause of such
failure has been positively identified and the necessary corrective action completed.
Confirmation that such corrective action has been effective may, in some cases, require the
successful completion of a subsequent flight prior to dispatch on an extended range
operation;

vi) A procedure to ensure the airborne equipment will continue to be maintained at the level of
performance and reliability required for extended range operations.

vii) A process for monitoring in-flight shutdowns.
