Lack of critical single-engine speed and distance data from manufacturers makes the FAA’s proposal to establish extended twin-engine operations (ETOPS) thresholds for Part 135 operators unworkable, according to comments submitted by NBAA and the National Air Transportation Association.

“The lack of data has made it impossible to quantify both the operational and economic impact of the proposed rule,” said NBAA. Also, NATA called on the agency to “postpone further action” on the restrictions and to open the comment period, which closed March 15, for an additional 90 days.
