Subject: ETOPS Class 5/25/10
Hello,
I am a dispatcher at FedEx. I will be working our B777
fleet soon and
would like to attend your one day class. I
have spoken with some people
that have attended and they speak highly of the information
they received.
...
Best Regards,
D.-
FedEx Intl Dispatch
Our
1 day ETOPS Course immediately follows the Advanced
International Flight Planning Course.
This
course is also designed to be useful for those who may want to work
for an airline which operates over oceanic and desert (or other
isolated) routes.

"...I am still in the dispatch world working for
---- Airlines out of ---. It is more challenging than
my previous job with ----, as now I dispatch 737s, 757s,
and 767s all over the world. Other
new hires have been assigned domestic flights only, while
I have advanced to international flights.
I attribute this to the
excellent training I received at Sheffield..."
Thanks again,

NEW
FAA ETOPS Advisory Circular
-
ETOPS
training originated when the FAA decided to grant permission
for the airlines to operate twin-engine aircraft, such
as the B-757's, Airbus, etc. over the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, or desolate areas. The operation originally applied
to two-engine airplanes flying more than 60 minutes from
the nearest adequate airport, but now includes three-
or four-engine airplanes flying more than 180 minutes
from the nearest adequate airport.
-
-
In
order for this approval to be granted to the airlines
by the FAA, one of the requirements is an approved training
program for the pilots, dispatchers, and other company
personnel. Our first ETOPS class took place on the weekend
of July 11, 1992, which made Sheffield School the first
school, outside the major airlines, to offer this type
of advanced aviation training.
-
-
We
highly recommend attending this course while you're in
town; however, we certainly welcome back any Sheffield
graduates who decide to attend this course at a later
date.The class date will normally be on Sunday following
the Advanced
International Flight Planning course. This
is a full ETOPS course with practical applications, computer
application, and a live instructor - not a half-day "point
and click" CBT course with no discussion.
2010
Cost:
1
day $200.00 [$400.00
for non-Sheffield graduates]
($100.00
nonrefundable deposit will reserve a seat in the class.)
2011
Cost (1st increase in over 10 years):
1
day $300.00 [$600.00
for non-Sheffield graduates]
($150.00
nonrefundable deposit will reserve a seat in the class.)
FREE
ETOPS course for Sheffield Graduates when enrolled in both AIFP
& EWINS!
We
can't exchange a full day of ETOPS (primarily non-certification)
material for FAA aircraft dispatcher certification instructional
time; therefore, we provide ETOPS as an additional workshop
class. Understandably, some students feel no need to take
the ETOPS course due to their current place of employment.
Some prefer to take the course at a later date. We provide
an option for our graduates to take this course. You may
sign up for this course with or without
Advanced International Training
any time.
