EASA Proposed Rule Would Ease Non-ETOPS Ops
The rule would also increase the current non-ETOPS operation mtow threshold from 100,000 pounds to 133,000 pounds to accommodate newer jets.

EASA has issued a notice of proposed amendment (NPA) that would permit larger European-certified multi-engine business jets with 19 passenger seats or less used in on-demand air charter service to operate with 120- to 180-minute one-engine inoperative (OEI) diversion times without obtaining approval for extended range twin-engine operation performance standards (ETOPS). Without an exemption, an ETOPS approval is required for OEI diversion times that are more than 60 minutes.
