Company Policy
A portion of our route included VVC UB689 BOG UG447 SPP. This route overflies high terrain with mountain peaks exceeding 13;300 feet. The Planning guide; South America Region section; does not include a Terrain Critical Depressurization Procedure for this route. Approaching VVC; we contacted Dispatch and asked if the procedure may be located in another section of the guide. While waiting on the answer from Dispatch; we considered a course change including a course reversal. Dispatch [could not suggest any specific publications that covered this route.] We proceeded on our dispatched and cleared route with great caution. We discussed contingency plans for possible mechanical failures requiring a descent.
No additional information provided.
B767 flight crew discovers enroute that there is no pre planned escape route in their manuals for loss of pressurization over high terrain along their route in South America.
