Hey Guys,i was just searching for information concerning overwater ops pf the jetstream. Is the Jetstream certified for any owerwater ops? I was only able to find the 50nm offshore-rule concerning ferry-flights.Best regardsFlo

I don't think it's authorized for ETOPS or any other overwater ops.

Overwater ops yes...http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/1419/srg_acp_ba27-04.pdfsee page 11ETOPS....well, obviously no!

That the J41 is not ETOPS-certified is clear ;-)Thanks for your replys!The referenced PDF says, that the plane is certified for "extended overwater operation". But where is defined, what this therm exactly means? I was searching the internet for a definition, but was unable to find anything about it.Flo

It's a generic term meaning "if you're over water for more than a normal amount of time." Normal would mean something along the lines of flying over a lake, or flying close to the shoreline. Flying over the Great Lakes, or away from the shore over the ocean, but remaining within the non-ETOPS diversion sites would be "extended overwater operations."

Okay. As far as i know ETOPS takes effect if the diversion time is greater than 60 minutes. According to your statement, with the Jetstream I'm allowed to fly overwater if the next airport is reachable within 60 minutesOr am I being simplicist?

That's the general idea, yes.
