Do you have to be a certain distance from land or within a certain time limit (i.e. have to be within 2 hours from land) per part 121.

Thanks.
 
Same 50 mile rule applies to 121 as 91. However, you can get exceptions such as ETOPS, 64miles (most CRJ 700s are this I think) and 124 (I think that is the right number). You can get pretty much anything you want if the FAA will certify it.
 
Bob ... where's the 64 miles thing? Just curious.

A few of our crews almost got into trouble because the routes we were filed from LAX to points in Mexico in the CR9 we hanging them more than 50 miles off shore. Had the routes fixed to keep us within 50.

Fortunately Lake Michigan isn't that big, since that's all the water I see anymore.
 
LOL the Fed asked me this on my 135 checkride. I looked at him like your kidding right. Where in Utah flying a 172 for charter will I have this problem.
 
I can't find the number now, but I guess I was wrong about it. What I was thinking of was B6 getting approved for use of the AR routes from New York down to Florida and the Island. It was CRJs. Although I would think that with ASA starting 700 service to Kingston and other places down there they would need more then 50 miles from land. I almost got in trouble once when flying from PNS to TPA in a seminole. They gave us direct as soon as we were wheels up and we were over a cloud layer so I never realized how far off shore we were.
 
Gotcha. I think I actually looked it up right after upgrade, but can't remember anything, soooooo... :)
