I have learned that OPSPECS supercede regs. Is this wrong? Is nothing being done about this because POI's have approved OPSPECS to allow it?
Ops Specs DO supercede regs (like allowing take offs at below standard minimums.) But since most 135 (or 121) Ops Specs are pretty much boilerplate, I'll bet you would have a hard time finding one that supercedes rest requirements. Because it would have had to be specifically signed off by an FAA representative. Wouldn't happen.
