CaptainLHKLM 39 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi all, I'm a little confused about FIX ranges in the FMC using ETOPS. For example, if I have an ETOPS 120 or greater able plane, do I still only put in the ranges of 60 minutes of flying around the ETOPS Entry and Exit airport? Thanks!

CaptainLHKLM 39 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Oh this is just a general question, I use simbrief and see some range rings in ETOPS that seem well over an hour of flying. So I wondered if I still only have to put the 60 minute range rings in the FMC, even if the aircraft is ETOPS 120, 180, 207 capable? I'm just trying to get realistic in the heavies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullwinklejmoose 0 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 When we get our paperwork, it will state the ETOPS alternates for the flight and what range we are operating under. We will then go to FIX INFO page, enter our ETOPS alternates then in the range field enter the distance. My aircraft, B777, operates under 207 ETOPS.
