Module #15 Equal Time Points

Modules #15 Equal Time Points:

  • What is an ETP
  • What are the questions most often asked from pilots to flight plan providers?
    • “Why hasn’t the system produced an ETP at this point?”
    • “I think that there should be an ETP here, but don’t know why”
    • “How do you determine which airports to make as ETP diversion airports?
    • “What specific aircraft information is used in calculating the ETP’s?”
    • “Can the aircraft information be modified?”
    • “How does the flight planning computer determine the driftdown altitude and one engine out altitude selection?”
    • “How does the fuel remaining at the ETP alternate effect the overall fuel requirement for the entire flight?”
  • Driftdown burn reflected in the profile
    • Engine failure fuel burn profiles
    • Pressurization fuel burn profiles
  • Optimizing burn profiles for reality
  • Building an ETP manually given
    • Re-route of 60 miles
    • Re-route of greater than 60 miles
    • Pre-developed tools to build an ETP on the ScottIPC plotting chart
  • Identifying and correcting reversed ETPs and the use of off route ETPs
  • Legal requirements for the use of a plotting chart and data derived from building ETPs
