How many ETOPS 120 capable 737-700s does WS have for YHZ-GLA and YYT-DUB/LGW?
According to flightradar24, i see that the following aircraft operated some of these routes regularly in the last few days.
C-GYWJ
C-GQWJ
C-GMWJ
C-GWCN
Is a good chunk of the 737-700 fleet ETOPS120 or just a select few aircraft?
Also, since we are on the subject, how many B738s are ETOPS 180 for Hawaii?

Re: 737s across the pond
Most of the 737 fleet is ETOPS but the ones operating to Europe have a different cockpit configuration (think 8.33khz comm spacing and other things special to Europe).
Re: 737s across the pond
There are about 8 -700s that are capable of flying the NAT tracks...CPDLC, ADS-B, 8.33kHz VHF are the requirements.
All of the NGs are certified for 180 ETOPS.

Re: 737s across the pond
Seems like a waste of money no? Only a fraction of the fleet operates under ETOPS120 requirements, much less 180.4Stroke wrote: All of the NGs are certified for 180 ETOPS.
Even the eastern Caribbean routes only require a simple extension of 15% on the 60 min diversion time. (ETOPS 75)
Re: 737s across the pond
ADS-B is not required for NAT airspace. That's ADS-C.4Stroke wrote:There are about 8 -700s that are capable of flying the NAT tracks...CPDLC, ADS-B, 8.33kHz VHF are the requirements.

Re: 737s across the pond
Not all the NGs are etops certified. A bunch of them don't even have the required life rafts.
