multiple identical systems; and

(c) the aeroplane conforms to the requirements of FAA Federal Aviation Regulation Part 25 (Fire Protection) for fire detection and suppression for cargo baggage compartments or an equivalent standard acceptable to CASA;

       the AOC holder may operate the aeroplane on a route containing a point that is not more than 75 minutes from an adequate aerodrome at the 1 engine inoperative cruise speed (in ISA and still air conditions).

       3BC.9 The AOC holder may operate an aeroplane with more than 2 turbine engines in passenger carrying operations on a route containing a point more than 180 minutes from an adequate aerodrome at the 1 engine inoperative cruise speed (in ISA and still air conditions) only if the aeroplane is operated in accordance with an EDTO approval.

3BD Polar operations

       3BD.1Each certificate authorising charter or regular public transport operations is subject to the conditions set out in this subsection.

       3BD.2The AOC holder may conduct a polar operation only with a CASA approval, issued following written application from the AOC holder in accordance with Appendix 6.

       3BD.3A polar operation approved by CASA must be conducted in accordance with:

(a) the strategies, procedures and plans mentioned in Appendix 6; and

(b) any conditions set out in the CASA approval.

Note   For example, CASA may, as a condition, require an operator to provide a passenger recovery plan for a designated alternate aerodrome.

       3BD.4In this subsection:

polar operation means an operation within the area:

(a) north of 78 degrees north latitude; or

(b) south of 60 degrees south latitude.

Note   If a polar operation involves a flight that exceeds a relevant EDTO threshold time, the relevant EDTO provisions in this Order also apply to the flight.

[6] Paragraph 4.1

add at the end

Note   For EDTO, the safety operational specifications issued by CASA will include the following:

(a) the authorised area(s) of operations;

(b) the adequate aerodromes;

(c) the specific approved airframe/engine combinations;

(d) the maximum EDTO for the applicable airframe/engine combinations;

(e) the approved 1 engine inoperative cruise speed(s) for the applicable airframe/engine combinations.

Adequate aerodromes — physical characteristics

      1 The landing distance available must be not less than that required for an aeroplane under subsection 11 of CAO 20.7.1B.

      2 The surface and strength of the manoeuvring area must allow the aeroplane to land without the likelihood of:

(a) damage to the aeroplane; or

(b) the aerodrome being rendered unusable for other operations.

      3 The taxiways and apron areas must allow the aeroplane to park so that it is clear of the remaining movement areas and does not render the aerodrome unusable for other operations.

      4 The aerodrome lighting must be as set
