Operating an Airbus A319 across the Atlantic is a very rare occurrence. However, Air Canada has two A319s configured for ETOPS operations and they are servicing the Newfoundland to London route during the summer season.
ETOPS stands for "Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards". Due to the increased reliability of jet engines, these standards now enable the use of twin-engine airliners on some over-water routes.
We were not only lucky enough to be able to present this operation to you but we actually cover a check ride in which a Captain gets his ETOPS qualification. You can discover everything about ETOPS in details with two pilots eager to present every aspect of this sort of operation to you. Bonus is a flight in and out of Heathrow captured both in the cockpit and from the cabin with a great wing view. Many other features make this yet another fantastic Air Canada program!
