Description
The European Aviation Safety Agency has issued a notice of proposed amendment (NPA) that would permit larger European-certified multiengine business jets used in on-demand charter service to operate with 120- to 180-minute one-engine inoperative (OEI) diversion times without obtaining approval for extended range twin-engine operation performance standards (Etops). This NPA proposes to extend the current non-Etops operation mtow threshold to accommodate business jets with an mtow of more than 100,000 pounds and remove the specific type design approval for non-Etops operations between 120 and 180 minutes. Comments are due by Jan. 3, 2018
