12.1.2  A very important aspect of any diversion to an airport in a remote region is the safety and protection of the passengers after landing and the recovery operation, which includes getting the passengers to their destination and the ability to fly the airplane onward. The plan for doing this in a timely and efficient manner will depend in large part on the information provided by the captain on site. It is most important to establish communications may be difficult in the Russian far north. Use whatever means is available, including SATCOM or HF from the airplane. Remember, the ADIRU must be aligned for SATCOM to work on the ground.
For any diversion into a Russian or QFE/meters airport, refer to the B777 ECL for the QFE/,ETERS OPERATIONS found in the UNANNUNCIATED section of the checklist.
