  • Taxiing and foreseeable delays prior to takeoff
  • Meteorological conditions
  • Foreseeable air traffic routings and traffic delays
  • Landing at a suitable aerodrome in the event of loss of cabin pressurization or, in the case of a multi-engined aircraft, failure of any engine, at the most critical point during the flight
  • Any other foreseeable conditions that could delay the landing of the aircraft
