Pono ʻia ka ʻae ʻana o ETOPS no ʻelua mau mokulele kalepa ʻenekini e lele ana i kahi mamao loa mai nā ʻāpana pae. Ma ka slang mokulele, ʻo ETOPS ka acronym no "Engines Turning Or Passengers Swimming", no ka mea, ʻo ka hopena o ka pau ʻole ʻana o ka ʻenekini ʻelua, ʻo ia kahi pae ulia pōpilikia i ka wai a i ʻole ka pae ʻana i ka ʻāina inā ʻaʻohe wahi pae i loaʻa i loko o ke ala holo.

ʻAe ka FAA i kēia manawa e hana ʻia nā 787 a hiki i 330 mau minuke (5.5 mau hola) mai kahi mokulele, mai nā minuke 180 i hala. E ʻae kēia i nā mokulele ma luna o nā wahi ʻole o ka Moana Pākīpika a me India, a me nā ʻāpana polar me ka ʻole o nā wahi pae ulia pōpilikia no nā tausani mile.

Inā pau ka ʻenekini hoʻokahi, pono e hoʻemi ka mokulele ʻenekini māhoe i kona māmā a me ke kiʻekiʻe a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka wahie ma mua o ke kiʻekiʻe holo maʻamau o 30,000 kapuaʻi a me 500 mau mile i kēlā me kēia hola ka wikiwiki.

"ʻO ka hōʻike NTSB hou a me nā hanana e pili ana i ka palekana mai ʻApelila 2013, me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka honua holoʻokoʻa he mea hilinaʻi a me nā pilikia palekana. ʻO ka ʻae ʻana i ka 787, kahi mokulele ʻenekini ʻelua me nā hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa he nui, e lele pau ʻole i nā kaukani mile mai kahi pae ʻāina kokoke loa, he hana i ʻike ʻole ʻia, "wahi a ka pelekikena ʻo FlyersRights.org, ʻo Paul Hudson.
