This paper summarizes the ETOPS certification process for Commercial Aircraft, including the following topics:
- Brief ETOPS history;
- Scope and Applicability;
- Regulations and Guidelines Applicable for ETOPS Certification;
- Relevant Aircraft Manufacturer Activities;
- Aircraft Operator Responsibilities
