AN ACR FLT PLANNED FOR AN ETOPS RTE IS NOT STAFFED WITH AN ETOPS QUALIFIED FLT CREW.

Narrative

WHILE REVIEWING THE PAPERWORK FOR THE FLT; AT OPS IN GRU; I NOTICED THAT WE WERE ON AN ETOPS FLT PLAN. THE FLT PLAN HAD THE ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS OF THE ETOPS AIRSPACE; IN DISTANCE AND TIME; FROM TKOF; ALSO THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE FOR THE POINTS. THE HEADER OF THE FLT PLAN DID NOT IDENTIFY THE FLT PLAN AS ETOPS. OUR ETOPS ALTERNATE WERE FLL AND SJU. SINCE WE ALL REVIEWED THE PAPERWORK TOGETHER AND NO COMMENTS WERE MADE; I ASSUMED THAT WE WERE ALL ETOPS QUALIFIED. AFTER LEVELOFF; THE RELIEF PLT WENT ON HIS SCHEDULE BREAK AND THE PF AND I REMAINED AT THE CTLS. AT THE PROPER TIME; THE RELIEF PLT RELIEVED ME AND I WENT ON MY BREAK. UPON MY RETURN TO THE COCKPIT; THE RELIEF PLT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS NOT ETOPS QUALIFIED. AT THIS TIME; WE WERE 65 NM S OF GRANN; OR 15 MINS AWAY FROM THE ETOPS ENTRY POINT. I DIRECTED THE RELIEF PLT TO REQUEST FROM SAN JUAN CTR VECTORS AND A NEW ROUTING WHICH WILL KEEP US WITHIN 60 MINS FROM AN ARPT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FLT. SAN JUAN CTR GAVE US VECTORS; AND A NEW RTE TO FLY WITH SUITABLE ARPTS ALONG THE WAY. AT NO TIME DID WE ENTER ETOPS AIRSPACE DURING THE ENTIRE FLT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A PROCESS WITHIN THE CREW DESK; WHICH IDENTIFIES WHICH PLTS ARE NOT ETOPS QUALIFIED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS SIT HAPPENED. SOUTH AMERICA MOST OF THE TIME IS NOT AN ETOPS AREA; HOWEVER; AT TIMES WITH ARPTS AND OR RWYS CLOSING FOR REPAIRS; IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO BE DISPATCHED ON AN ETOPS FLT PLAN. THE FOM IGNORES THIS AREA; AND IS NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH IN THE REQUIREMENTS; AS IT IS FOR EUROPE AND THE PACIFIC.
