ETOPS Threshold Distance

Currently the ETOPS 60 min threshold distance appears to be fixed. However IRL this can vary depending company policy per aircraft type. Please consider adding user-defined distance value. Thanks.

It’s already settable:

That being said it’s mandated by regulations rather than company policy (threshold is higher for aircraft with 3 or more engines as well as aircraft with 19 seats or less). But for a twin-engined jet with more than 19 passenger seats, all regulations I know of mandate a 60-minute threshold.

Oh, I think I see what you mean, for a given 60-minute duration, the distance can vary a bit based on various factors. That is indeed not currently user-settable, although Derek can probably explain how it is computed by the algorithm at least.

any comment on this?

then it has no chances I’m afraid :grinning_face:
