OpSpecs? what Opspec would that be? OpSpecs do not tell you what class of medical you need.

Operation Specifications can be more restrictive than the FAR's.... I once worked for a company that required an FO in the aircraft when we operated into specific airports/countries.

If a companies OpSpec is written and approved, it can have you do anything, including the medical requirement, it also can approve 2 pilots in a single-pilot airframe even with an approved autopilot installed, etc...

OpSpecs aren't "written". They are what they are. They're paragraphs in a computer ("A08" or "C077" etc) and you either are approved to operate under their "reign" or you aren't. It depends on what you need and what you "apply" for.

Your GOM, however, is approved or accepted (I can't remember the actual word the FAA uses for company manuals) and if your company manual requires a 1st class medical to fly the company 172 in day VFR to drop off a mechanic at an outstation, then that's what you need.

I haven't seen an OpSpec paragraph that requries a certain class of medical (other than the one authorizing Eligible On Demand operations). If someone has a reference, I'd love to read it just to see what it's all about.

Most 135 carriers GOMs are accepted, most (all?) 121 carriers GOMs are approved.

Sorry, should have been GOM. Got ahead of myself there. Easy to do since the GOM has all the Specs anyhow.
