Talk to Me About Extended Overwater Ops..
#3
Under 135 operations you need to get approval in your Operation Specs for extended overwater operations. That meaning beyond one hour flying distance from land. I know some operators getting in trouble flying to Bermuda from the East Coast, but only because their OPS SPECS didn't allow the operation...ETOPS is a whole different story on the 121 side of the house.

It actually stands for:
Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards
and as far as I know, it only applies to 121 ops.
