available ?
Quite simply, according to JAR-OPS an adequate airport must be "available", does this mean that it can only be used inside published operating hours?

But is that airfield 'adequate' if it is in the arctic, up a fjord, has just sufficient tarmac to carry out an emergency stop, has no passenger facilities and is used to reduce non Etops routing

"You can hardly describe a closed airport (or pub, shop etc) as 'available' can you?"
Similarly you can hardly expect to ask a question on pprune without being patronised......
Allow to me to clarify, can anybody explain under what conditions
we can flight plan a twin to be more than 60mins away from an adequate airport and not be operating to etops rules..
And yes BGBW does have some relevance to this question.
