1) April 1 I believe
2) No

To qualify number 2, not long range tanks just the standard center install

Thanks Typhoon Pilot.

From my understanding of TP 6327E, for accelerated ETOPS approval an airline operates under 120 min authority for one year before approval greater than 138 min is granted. I gather then WJ will have 180 min approval sometime spring 2006?

Actually there is an accelarated method to go from 120 to 180, I can't remeber all that WJ has to do but the basics are contsant data on engine and APU data both from WJ and Boeing, as well the in flight shutdown, diversion ect.. limits are lower. WJ will have ETOPS of 180 mins this fall providing all things stay the same, I said September but I was recently told October now.
I it really interests you PM and I'll get the info.

It looks like it may be the following month, but we are at 120 and are just awaiting TC approval for 180, training is done and all manuals ammended. It's just a waiting game.

Sooner would be better but from what I've heard it will be the end of November at the earliest before we get it.
