Module 8 - Practical Exercise
Background
You are a part of the regulation development department of the
Antarctica Civil Aviation Authority (ACAA).
Currently there are no EDTO provisions in the Antarctica Civil Aviation
Regulations (ACARs). Two engine aeroplanes are limited to 60 minutes
diversion time and no specific diversion time restrictions have been
established for aeroplanes with more than two engines.

Current Regulation - ACAR 121.001
ACAR 121.001 - Aeroplane Limitations, Type of Route
No certificate holder may operate a two-engine aeroplane over a route
that contains a point farther than 60 minutes flying time (at a one engine

Module 8 - Practical Exercise
Background
Ice Air, a subsidiary of EDTO Airways, currently conducts domestic cargo
operations between McMurdo Phoenix Airfield (NZFX) and Amundson
Scott Research Station (NZSP) using WP-911 Freighter aeroplanes.
The airline has a business opportunity to expand it’s operations to Mount
Pleasant, Falkland Islands (EGYP), which would be served by either the
current fleet of WP-911s or WP-3 freighter aeroplanes on dry lease from
parent company EDTO Airways.
