Hello,
Is there a way to list equal time airports?
Thank you.
Hello,

Thank you.
Hi, I don’t understand your question. Can you elaborate, perhaps with examples or screenshots of what you’re requesting?
Thanks,
Thank you for your reply.
What I mean is if it is possible to input equal time airports used for protection over a widespread uninhabited area, not necessarily over water like using ETOPS airports.
I hope you can see the uploaded picture from a different flight planning system showing their input field. This is different than ETOPS.
Thank you.
Below is a better explanation.
An Equal Time Point (ETP) is a geographical location along a flight route where the time it would take to reach a certain airport is the same as the time it would take to reach an alternative airport.
A simple example is an ETP between your departure and destination airports. When you pass this ETP you know it’s quicker to continue to your destination than it is to turn around and return to your point of departure.
A more complex use of ETPs may be used to define the point between 2 enroute diversion airports, for example when crossing an ocean where suitable airports may be hundreds of miles apart. When one ETP is passed, the next one can be calculated using another airport pair, so you’ll always know the best diversion option wherever you are along your route.
