7、nate or divert air-fields shall be planned within gliding distance of any pointalong the planned route of flight.This is dependent upon anumber of factors includingbut not limited togeographiclocation of flight operations(for example,austere operatingenvironment or maritime operations with few avail

11、report the condition of not being capable of maintaining levelflight at its mission altitude or at a reduced altitude(that is,sinkrate at reduced or full power).This condition shall trigger theaircrafts flight control computer to enter a“divert mode”(thatis,a subset of its contingency mode)of functi
