5 Questions
What is the primary role of an ETOPS Significant System?
To ensure safe flight and landing during an aeroplane diversion
The manufacturer establishes a minimum ETOPS time as part of the type-certification.
False
What is the purpose of evaluating ETOPS Significant Systems?
To assess their impact on the safety of an ETOPS flight or diversion
The aeroplane propulsion system and any other aeroplane systems whose failure could adversely affect the safety of an ETOPS flight, or whose functioning is important to continued safe flight and landing during an aeroplane ______.
diversion
Match the following systems with their characteristics:
Hydraulic system = Fail-safe redundancy characteristics directly linked to the number of engines Communication system = Failure conditions may reduce safety of a diversion Electrical system = Fail-safe redundancy characteristics directly linked to the number of engines Oxygen system = Failure conditions may reduce safety of a diversion
Study Notes
Maximum Approved Diversion Times
- The maximum ETOPS time is established by the manufacturer as part of the type-certification process.
- The process involves evaluating ETOPS Significant Systems, which are critical to ensuring safe flight and landing during an aeroplane diversion.
ETOPS Significant Systems
- The aeroplane propulsion system is an ETOPS Significant System.
- Other systems whose failure could adversely affect the safety of an ETOPS flight, or whose functioning is important to continued safe flight and landing, are also considered ETOPS Significant Systems.
- Examples of ETOPS Significant Systems include:
- Hydraulic system
- Pneumatic system
- Electrical system
- Navigation system
- Communication system
- Equipment cooling system
- Time-limited cargo fire suppression system
- Oxygen system
This quiz covers the ETOPS Significant Systems, including the aircraft propulsion system and other critical systems, and their importance in ensuring safe flight and landing during diversion.
