With the iniBuilds A350 coming out with ETOPS certification of 370 minutes, SimBrief only has up to 180 minutes under ETOPS Threshold. Can this be updated to go out to 370 minutes? It’s missing 240 and 330 minutes as well.
Hi,
“ETOPS Threshold” controls how far you must be from a suitable airport to be considered in ETOPS. For the A350, this is 60 minutes.
The option you’re looking for is “ETOPS Certification” (on the Airframe Options page) or “Target Scenario” (on the Flight Options page). 370 minutes is already supported for this option.
Best regards,

Ahh, thank you for the education. Appreciate it. It is odd that the Simbrief profiles that iniBuilds has released for their A350’s have 180 for threshold.

They may have already fixed them, the ones here seem to show 60 minute threshold now from what I can see: Simbrief Profiles - A350 Airliner - FAQs - iniBuilds Forum
Best regards,
According to the Airbus A350 CMP Document for the A350, 370 minutes equals a divert distance of 2500 NMs.
However, the max time limited system for cargo fire suppression is 360 minutes, which equals a net max diversion time of 345 minutes. The quoted 370 is for systems OTHER than cargo fire suppression and represents a theoretical limit based on how the systems are designed.
360 minutes is the demonstrated max duration of the cargo fire suppression system; of which the operator can user 345 minutes (Have to protect the last 15 minutes).
