aerodrome indicates that it will be at, or above, the approved aerodrome landing minima for the expected approach during the possible period of use; and

(b) no other event has occurred that makes the aerodrome unusable.

       (4) The AOC holder must ensure that before the aeroplane goes beyond the EDTO entry point, the pilot in command ensures that the aeroplane complies with the in-flight operational requirements of the CMP standards document for the EDTO flight.

       (5) After an EDTO flight goes beyond the applicable EDTO entry point, the AOC holder must ensure that the pilot in command:

(a) is informed of any significant changes in conditions at designated EDTO alternate aerodromes; and

(b) if:

           (i) the meteorological forecast is subsequently revised below the EDTO alternate aerodrome landing minima for a required EDTO alternate aerodrome; or

           (ii) any other event occurs that makes the aerodrome unusable;

 only continues the flight if the pilot in command is satisfied that doing so would be safer than an alternative course of action.

6 Fuel requirements for EDTO

       (1)The AOC holder for an aeroplane conducting an EDTO flight must ensure that the aeroplane carries at least the fuel required by subclauses (2) and (3).

       (2)The amount of fuel on board the aeroplane on departure must be whichever is the greater of:

(a) that determined under the operations manual for a similar non-EDTO flight; or

(b) that required under subclause (3).

       (3) The AOC holder must ensure that the aeroplane does not commence a flight, planned as an EDTO flight unless, considering the known and forecast weather conditions, or using a wind forecast model acceptable to CASA, the aeroplane carries sufficient fuel to satisfy the following requirements:

(a) when departing as an EDTO flight, the aeroplane must carry whichever is the greatest of the following:

           (i) sufficient fuel to fly to an EDTO alternate assuming a rapid decompression at the most critical point followed by a descent to a safe altitude in compliance with regulation 178 of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR 1988) and the oxygen requirements of Civil Aviation Order 20.4 (CAO 20.4);

           (ii) sufficient fuel to fly to an EDTO alternate at the approved 1 engine inoperative cruise speed assuming a rapid decompression and a simultaneous engine failure at the most critical point followed by a descent to a safe altitude in compliance with regulation 178 of CAR 1988 and the oxygen requirements of CAO 20.4;

           (iii) sufficient fuel to fly to an EDTO alternate at the approved 1 engine inoperative cruise speed assuming an engine failure at the most critical point followed by a descent to the 1 engine inoperative cruise altitude;

(b) on reaching the EDTO alternate aerodrome, the aeroplane must
