1. “ Global Safety Management: Revolution or Evolution?” Global ETOPS/LROPS Implementation: Timetables and Approaches

2. Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 2 Major Discussion Points New US ETOPS Regulations: New definition – “Extended Operations” Codification of current 2-engine ETOPS guidance (60 minutes to 180 minutes) Application of ETOPS requirements on all passenger-carrying airplanes (2, 3, or 4 engines) more than 180 minutes from an alternate airport

3. Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 3 Major Discussion Points CASA Australia has implemented similar rules to the US New Zealand proposed rule, similar to US and Australia Canada- –2 engine proposal complete; –severe climate airports in work; –3-4 engine application on the agenda

4. Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 4 Major Discussion Points EASA: Open NPA 2008-01 addresses 2 engine airplanes only; retains traditional ETOPS definition Remit for the regulation of recovery plan would need further clarification to determine boundaries between passenger health and flight safety Extension to 3 or 4 engine airplanes to be subject of further discussion; A-NPA in 4 th quarter 2008 to gather views on LROPS New EU OPS will be applicable by 16 July 2008, and will include JAA NPA OPS-40; applies both to large and small twins, and covers only operational approval requirements for ETOPS: –Large twins – 60 minute threshold –Small twins – 180 minute threshold

5. Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 5 Major Discussion Points ICAO Proposed Extended Diversion Time Operations (EDTO) for 2, 3, and 4 engine operations via State Letter in September 2007 Many States had fundamental difficulties with many provisions, especially proposals for polar routes Has formed Special Operations Task Force (SOTF) for more than 2 engine airplanes

6. Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 6 Reaction from the Floor Disappointment that harmonization among all authorities has not yet been achieved –The Authorities have devoted considerable years work to this area and had failed to identify the issue. Two commenters expressed concern that some regulatory schemes do not address cargo operations and one commenter noted that adequate passenger recovery at alternate airports should be addressed. One commenter requested and later received clarification as to EASA’s handling of third country airplane ETOPS approvals.

7. Summaries, Conclusions, and Action Items 7 Outcomes/Additional Ideas ICAO Special Operations Task Force will meet in the Fall 2008 –Will be comprised of a cross section of stakeholders –Will look at work that has been done but will also consider new approaches Work is planned to be completed in 2009 Earliest implementation date would be 2010
