*”The ICAO coined the acronym for Extended Twin Operations for twin-engine aircraft operation further than one hour from a diversion airport at the one-engine inoperative cruise speed, over water or remote lands, on routes previously restricted to three- and four-engine aircraft.”
There also designated transatlantic flight corridors aircraft flying west- or east-bound are assigned. “North Atlantic Tracks, officially titled the North Atlantic Organized Track System (NAT-OTS).”
