Captain, I'm not talking of not only this video, but of all the videos you have done. They are superb and very easy to understand. Great job Captain. You are an asset to aviation.

Hi Captain, great easy summary. What if you are flying on a non-edto route and an airspace that you are routed through is closed off. The only way to get to your destination is via an EDTO route. Can you change to this routing in-flight? What are your other considerations? Thank you!

[@Captain_SQ]

First of all, your aircraft needs to be certified to fly an EDTO route. Most airlines will plan for EDTO routes and will only plan for non-EDTO routes if the aircraft,crew and airline is not rated for EDTO.

Hi captain, is ETP=CP?

[@Babyy777]

Captain can you explain why we do not divert when fob is less than fuel required at cp?

[@Captain_SQ]

Fuel is planned for worst case scenario at cp.

[@Drumzmer555]

Hi Captain, Can i ask what is the differnce betwen EDTO and ETOPS? are they the same thing or are there any differences between the two?

[@Captain_SQ]

They are the same.

EDTO - Extended Diversion Time Operations

[@Captain_SQ]

Excellent

[@warlic777]

Captain, i just did my endorsement flight. Would like to ask for your guidance as to what should i prepare next other than reading the SOP? Did a class regarding EDTO but it was challenging for me to understand and so it resulted to me watching this video and i still feel so stupid 😢. Any recommendations/pointers that you could share Captain?

[@Captain_SQ]

Hi congrats on your endorsement, reading tje SOP is a good start. I would start with the FCTM. It seems to be alot to take in at first. But with time, effort from you and guidance from instructors and peers, you will get the hang of it. The best is getting advice from senior pilots. All the best, you got this.

[@alfonsosierra8570]

Captain please answer your own question regarding what happens if your weather in diversion airports falls below the minimum, thanks in advance

[@alfonsosierra8570]

Designate new ETOPS alternate airports within the ETOPS diversion limit that do meet the minima.

[@Captain_SQ]

Before or after entering EDTO airspace?

[@alfonsosierra8570]

after you enter the EDTO AIRSPACE please

[@Captain_SQ]

Continue to destination and take note of the weather at your destination and destination alternate.

[@aprilianchandra8178]

Bro, your video is great but is better to speak slowly because your accent is different. Thanks

[@Captain_SQ]

sure

"Time" Captain.
