New Definitions ETOPS/LROPS/EDTO

What is the new meaning of ETOPS chosen by FAA ?
Extended
Operations
Original ETOPS requirements for two-engine airplanes are now applicable to
any airplane types regardless the number of engines
Threshold: 60 min (Twins), 180 min (Tris/Quads)
And what is the meaning of ETOPS/LROPS chosen by EASA ?

= Extended range OPerationS for Two-engine airplanes
LROPS = Long Range OPerationS applicable to three and four engine
airplanes
Threshold: 60 min (Twins), 180 min (Tris/Quads)
ETOPS
and EDTO ?
Extended
Diversion Time Operations

EDTO is the acronym retained by ICAO and some Authorities (e.g. CASA,
CAANZ) to designate the new rules applying to operations beyond applicable
threshold. These rules are applicable to any airplane types
Threshold: 60 min or 90min (Twins), 180 min (Tris/Quads)
History
Extended range operations started very early:
1909:
first English Channel crossing (L. Bleriot)
1919:
first North Atlantic Ocean crossing (J. Alcock & A. Brown)
History
1927: first non-stop New York - Paris (C. Lindbergh)
first US Cost-Hawa crossing (A.Hegenberger & L.Maitland)
first South Atlantic crossing (D. Costes & J. Le Brix)
History
1928: first Pacific Ocean crossing (C.K. Smith & C.T. Ulm)
1930: first non-stop Paris - New York (D. Costes & M. Bellonte)
History
Extended range commercial operations started in the late 1930s:
1936:
1939:
first trans-Pacific commercial flights
first trans-Atlantic commercial flights
History
These types of flights required large multi-engined flying-boats:
poor engine reliability and performance could not allow design of equally
efficient twin engine aircraft
History
Piston engine reliability
The following chart (1953 ICAO report) gives the probability of
failure for piston engines vs power at 1000 constant rpm:

History
Piston engine reliability (contd)
The 1953 ICAO report shows that for the same amount of
installed horsepower, the risk of an engine failure is greater on a
2 engine design than on a 4 engine design:
Engine Fp on Twin
Engine Fp on Quad
4000
5000
6000
design required hp
7000
History
As reliable and reasonably light engines had limited power:
design of long range aircraft (high weight) implied installation of
several engines (more than two)
twin engine aircraft had limited payload/range performance and

were only operated on short flights
ETOPS regulations: past and present

ICAO issued its 90 minutes recommendations in the early 50s
following a review of the piston engine reliability :
no
airplane shall be operated beyond 90 min (all engines operative)

from a diversion airfield, except if the route can be flown with two
engines inoperative
common interpretation was that twin engine aircraft could be
operated on 90 minutes routes
In 1953, the FAA published the initial 60 minutes rule:

applicable
to three (until 1964) and two engine aircraft

special approval for operations beyond 60 minutes
History
Until 1952, all commercial flights were operated with piston engine
powered airplanes:
1952: first commercial operation with jet airplane (DH Comet 1)

1958: first transatlantic commercial jet operation (DH Comet 4)
Since 1960, jet engine powered aircraft progressively replaced piston

engine powered aircraft:
on all long range routes

on most of regional routes
History
Higher performance of jet engines allowed operations of
twins on 90 min routes (Caribbeans, Africa, Bay of Bengal,

North Atlantic, South China Sea, ...)
History
Jet engine reliability
More than 40 years of jet operations have shown that unlike
piston engines, jet engine failure probability is not affected by the
thrust or the size of the engine:
0.03
0.02
IFSD rate
0.01

14-16K
22-25K
37-40K
48-50K
50-60K
Therefore, the probability of an engine failure is now higher on a quadjet than on a twin-jet
ETOPS regulations: past and present

The introduction in the 1980s of twin aircraft (A310, B767) powered with modern (fuel
efficient) turbofan engines made the old 60/90 minute rules inadequate:
1984
ICAO ETOPS study group amend Annex 6
1985
FAA publishes first ETOPS regulation to address 120 min operations
First ETOPS operation (SIA/A310 - TWA/B767)
1988
The Authorities published rules for 180 min ETOPS based on the very good experience
with 120 min operations
2007
January 2007 - FAA publishes new Extended Operations (ETOPS) regulation
July 2007 - CASA publishes new Extended Diversion Time Operations (EDTO) regulation
October 2007 ICAO sent a State letter to introduce new Extended Diversion Time Operations
(EDTO) regulation in its SARPs
In Europe, these regulatory discussions are still on-going

New EASA ETOPS rules to be published in 2008

ETOPS Certification Principles

It is the responsibility of the aircraft manufacturer to obtain the
ETOPS certification of the aircraft.
It is a prerequisite to the start of the ETOPS operations (ETOPS

operational approval).
The Authority in charge of this approval is the Primary Certifying

Authority of the manufacturer, i.e. EASA for Airbus.
The ETOPS certification of an aircraft is an assessment of the

compliance of the candidate aircraft with all the design provisions
and reliability objectives of the applicable ETOPS criteria (e.g.:
EASA AMC 20-6, FAA AC 120-42A or new Part 25.1535, ...).
ETOPS Certification Principles

The airplane and engine ETOPS certification requirements
fall into five categories:
to reliability (and not only fail-safe)
Lessons learned
Ground and flight testing
Reporting and correcting design problems
Demonstrated reliability
Design
An ETOPS certification is a two-fold exercise:

Type
design compliance demonstration

Reliability and capability demonstration by:
In-service experience (Service Experience method) or/and
Specific ETOPS tests and processes (Early ETOPS method)
ETOPS approval of the aircraft: regulations intent

To obtain an ETOPS approval of an aircraft, the Manufacturer must
demonstrate :
Adequate
Propulsion System Reliability (In Flight Shut Down rate)
Adequate
Electrical power source redundancy and architecture
Adequate
APU design (start capability within the overall flight envelope)
Minimum
crew workload under failure conditions
Single
engine operation: adequate system redundancy
Adequate
Cargo fire extinguishing system
Adequate
Ice Protection for engine and airframe
All
system safety assessment must take into account the ETOPS
specific constraints and the maximum permissible diversion time

Reliability Monitoring - Engines IFSD rates

The regulations require that for 180-min ETOPS capability, for a given airframe / engine
combination, the engine In-Flight Shut Down rate does not exceed:
0.020 / 1,000 Engine Hours, i.e.

1 IFSD every 50,000 Engine Hours, i.e.
1 IFSD every 25,000 aircraft Flight Hours
For operations over 180 min, the engine IFSD rate is further reduced:
0.010 / 1,000 Engine Hours
This IFSD target rate has to be complied with by the manufacturers (Airbus / Engines
manufacturers)
Worldwide
fleet (ETOPS and non-ETOPS)
Note: In Australia, the targets for the operators are slightly different because of
fleet size effect: 0.03/1000E.H for ETOPS 180min, 0.02 /1000E.H for ETOPS >180min
the
Statistics are not reliable enough for small fleets

The operator has to analyse each IFSD on an event-oriented basis (case-by-case analysis)

Operational Approval:
The
National Authority of the country of the operator in charge of
operational matters is responsible for this approval

All documents subject to legal approval are signed and stamped by the
National Authority
The
operator has to send an ETOPS application letter to its
National AA, with the ETOPS objectives (routes, desired diversion
time, fleet, area of operations, planned date for the start of ETOPS
flights, etc...)
It
is required to send this application letter at least 3 months before
the intended date of start of ETOPS (6 months in case of

accelerated ETOPS)
ETOPS Processes (definition)

To obtain an ETOPS operational approval, the Operator must demonstrate competence in required ETOPS
Processes.
ETOPS Processes
Definition:
Series of steps/activities accomplished to ensure that desired result is attained
Process is considered proven when:
Elements are defined and documented

Roles and responsibilities are defined
Procedure to validate the process elements is established
Follow-up of in-service experience is implemented to assure process remains reliable
Background:
ETOPS concept implemented in 1985
First decade of ETOPS operations has shown that:
Extensive in-service verification required
compliance with ETOPS processes ensures high level of reliability and safety
Previous experience with aircraft has less impact than firm commitment to proven processes
ETOPS Operational approval / ETOPS Process elements

ETOPS Process elements (must be addressed by Operators ETOPS program):
Aircraft
compliance to CMP document (continued process, includes Parts Control)

ETOPS Maintenance program
ETOPS Manual
ETOPS Maintenance Program
ETOPS Service check
Oil consumption monitoring program / ECM
Dual maintenance limitations / verification program
Reliability Monitoring (including engine)
ETOPS
Flight Ops program,:
ETOPS Manual
ETOPS Routes / selection of en-route alternates / passenger recovery plan
Flight planning (Airports, Time-limited systems, Fuel, MMEL )
Weather data
In-flight procedures (communication, flight monitoring, diversion decision making)
Training
Program

Time constraints and experience defines type of approval plan
Conventional or Accelerated approval?
Conventional
approval requires a specific amount of direct in-
service experience with candidate aircraft:

1 year non ETOPS operations for 120 min approval
1 year 120 min for 180 min approval
ETOPS
Approval with reduced prior experience with the candidate
aircraft is called Accelerated ETOPS

The
Approval Plan must be adapted to the contemplated degree of
experience reduction

ETOPS Operational Approval: compensating factors

Conventional ETOPS:
no
special strategy is required
action plan only needed in case of non compliance

no
compensating factors are required
judgment
criteria straight forward: experience with candidate aircraft
Accelerated ETOPS:
defined
strategy and open communication needed between airline and authority
compensating
facts
factors are basis of approval
and engineering judgment are used to determine ETOPS capability
ETOPS Operational Approval: compensating factors

Compensating factors:
Previous
experience with other airframe or engines of similar technology
Previous
ETOPS experience (related experience)
Specific
ETOPS training
ETOPS
simulation
Required amount of compensating factors depends on:

ETOPS
objectives
Organization
current versus ETOPS

Experience
ETOPS / long range / route(s) / aircraft-engine technology

Experience with ETOPS procedures is transferable from any real or simulated ETOPS program

Operational assessment: Accelerated ETOPS

Influence of Operators background:
The operators background of related experience must be analysed (product
family, other ETOPS, simulations...)
The operator must prove the relevance of its experience

The operators relevant experience may be found equivalent to the intended
level of direct experience in the ETOPS rule
If the operators background of related experience is not sufficient to equate the

intended level of direct experience in the rule:

The
operator may accumulate some direct experience as prescribed by the
Authority, and/or
The
operator may involve experienced partners in its program and achieve
a transfer of experience under the control of the Authority

criteria
fully
validated according to EASA Appendix 7 or FAA Appendix 3
Therefore there is a need to define an ACTION PLAN early enough

and to properly follow up the progress of its implementation.
Operational assessment (Appendix 7)

Accelerated ETOPS
EASA Appendix 7 or FAA Appendix 3 require proven organization,
procedures and manuals and validation of their implementation. This

Operational assessment: ETOPS Simulations

Simulated ETOPS on non-ETOPS flights:
Flight crew/dispatcher:
Simulation may cover flight preparation
Simulation may cover in-flight procedures provided:
flight duration is sufficient
aircraft is same family (or same cockpit technology)
Maintenance crew:
ETOPS maintenance dispatch
Service check
Check / monitoring of aircraft configuration (ETOPS MEL)
Required number of ETOPS simulated flights:
criteria shall be number of ETOPS simulated flight/dispatch per flight crew / dispatcher / maintenance crew rather
than total number for the whole candidate airline
