Great question Hedley. The answer is, I don’t know…..
Typically, a divert to an ETOPS alternate would involve some type of EMER so I’d say shouldn’t be an issue. That is unless KEF says to use us as an ETOPS alternate, you must meet the requirements. Of course an EMER is just what it is. That can be dealt with once safely on the ground.
Perhaps a PDR to CASC would be in order. They will get you an answer I have no doubt.
