The Airport must be located within a pre-defined circle centred
at a certain distance from the destination. PFPX will automatical-
ly check this requirement.
Redispatch
A redispatch plan consists of specifying a redispatch fix and short re-
lease destination airport. Developing a redispatch plan may reduce your
contingency fuel requirement, as you need to carry reserve fuel only for
the part from the redispatch fix to the destination instead the entire
route (refer to page 82 - Redispatch Planning).
The Redispatch Route button allows you to find a route for the redis-
patch portion of the flight, Clear the current re-release route and to
identify candidate destination alternate airports.
Auto To automatically find a redispatch solution for the
planned flight
Edit Open the Route Editor to modify the redispatch part
of a route (refer to page 34 – Route Builder)
Disable Disable redispatch entries without clearing them

ETOPS (Extended Range) Operations
If a flight is planed beyond an airplane’s Threshold Distance (indicated
by green arcs around Adequate Airports), Extended Range (ETOPS)
planning is required (refer to page 62 – Extended Range / ETOPS). ETOPS
scenarios must be available for the airplane selected and be allowed by
the fuel policy in use to enable the ETOPS scenario drop-down box.
Selecting the desired scenario unlocks the ETP Airports edit fields. Up to
seven airport pairs or single airports can be specified. Verify that the
entire route is covered with either green circles (adequate airports) or
black circles (ETOPS alternates).
