Appendix 5

General conditions for EDTO approval for a turbine-engined aeroplane certificated to carry more than 19 passengers or having a payload capacity exceeding 3 410 kg

1 Definitions

       In this Appendix, words and phrases have the same meaning as in Appendix 4.

2 General prerequisites for EDTO

       The AOC holder must ensure that an EDTO flight does not commence unless:

(a) the safety operational specifications of the Air Operator's Certificate permits the EDTO; and

(b) procedures for the EDTO to meet the requirements for EDTO mentioned in this Order are set out in the AOC holder's operations manual.

3 Flight dispatch requirements for EDTO

       (1) The AOC holder must ensure that an aeroplane is only dispatched on an EDTO if the communication facilities required by the AIP are available.

       (2) The AOC holder must ensure that an aeroplane is only dispatched on an EDTO if it meets the requirements of the CMP standards document for the EDTO flight.

       (3) The AOC holder must ensure that an aeroplane is only dispatched on an EDTO if the required take-off, destination and alternate aerodromes, including EDTO alternate aerodromes to be used in the event of engine shutdown or aeroplane system failure which require a diversion, are listed in the cockpit documentation.

       (4) The AOC holder must ensure that an aeroplane is only dispatched on an EDTO if EDTO alternate aerodromes are identified and listed in the EDTO dispatch release.

       (5) The AOC holder must ensure that an aerodrome is listed as an EDTO alternate only if:

(a) the latest available forecast weather conditions for a period from the earliest to the latest time of landing at the aerodrome, equal or exceed the relevant aerodrome planning minima for an EDTO alternate aerodrome in clause 7 of this Appendix; and

(b) the forecast crosswind component, including gusts, for the landing runway expected to be used is not more than the maximum permitted crosswind for a 1 engine inoperative landing.

Note   For the purposes of this provision, forecast probabilities of less than 40% may be disregarded. However, INTER and TEMPO conditions, when forecast, must be taken into account when calculating fuel requirements.

       (6) In spite of subclause (5), if a forecast for the required period is not available, an aeroplane may be despatched on an EDTO flight if the flight does not proceed beyond the point of sole reliance on the designated adequate aerodrome unless and until the pilot in command receives a valid forecast that satisfies the requirements of subclause (5).
