Diversion within NAT HLA
Try to contact ATC in order to revise clearance, if unable to continue flight prior clearance revision:
-Leave assigned route by turning atleast 30º L or R and fly an offset route of 5NM (LAT REV on PPOS)
-Aircraft shall fly a level that differs 500’ from those normally used
-Broadcast position and intentions on 121.5 or 123.45 as backup
Before ETOPS entry point:
- Use ETOPS BEFORE ENTRY POINT Checklist
- Update winds in FMS
- Set assigned MACH in FMS
- Log on CPDLC according to OAC requirements
- Evaluate potential enroute diversion airport(s) Wx/services
- Obtain alternate airpots Wx
- PF, use ETP page for continuous entry of most suitable airports, use PROG for bearing and distance
- Check A/C systems Status/ETOPS significant systems
- Verify next leg track and distance
-HF/ SELCAL check(A/R)
After ETOPS entry point
- Use ETOPS Checklist WITHIN ETOPS AREA
- HF/SELCAL check (if not done before)
- Enter nearest diversion airport on PROG (PF)
- Set VH1 to 123.45 and VHF 2 to 121.5
- Set transponder to 2000, 30 min past oceaninc entry
- use SLOP
SLOP
-Fly between 0.1 up to max 2 NM offset (RIGHT only)
- Do not advise ATC
- Return to course by oceanic exit point
