Airline terminology
This term is used in an airline manual. It refers to a type of flight. It isn't used in a sentence.
In Portuguese, I found this definition: maritimizado = equipado para sobrevoar o oceano.
I understand the meaning. I'm looking for the specific technical term used in the industry.
Thanks

ETOPS
Information provided by an international pilot.
ETOPS[1] is an acronym for extended operations[2] as re-defined by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2007.[3] This rule allows twin-engined airliners (such as the Airbus A300, A310, A320, A330 and A350, the Boeing 737, 757, 767, 777, 787, the Embraer E-Jets and the ATR 72) to fly long-distance routes that were previously off-limits to twin-engined aircraft. There are different levels of ETOPS certification, each allowing aircraft to fly on routes that are a certain amount of flying time away from the nearest airport. For example, if an aircraft is certified for 180 minutes, it is permitted to fly any route, as long as it is always within 180 minutes flying time to the nearest airport. ETOPS operation has no direct correlation to water or distance over water. It refers to single-engine flight times between diversion airfields, regardless as to whether such fields are separated by water or land

: I certainly hope that no international airline pilot would make flights over water without carrying the mandatory safety equipment! That would be a reckless attitude...

equipped for over-water flights
This quote is from a captain of an airplane, so presumably technically correct.

This site gives the ICAO rule for aircraft flying over water:
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/1672/srg_gad_Appendix 10b revised....
6.3.3 All aeroplanes when operated on extended flights over water shall be equipped with:
a) when the aeroplane may be over water at a distance of more than 93 km (50 NM) away from land suitable for making an emergency landing:
1) one life jacket or equivalent individual floatation device for each person on board, stowed in a position easily accessible from the seat or berth of the person for whose use it is provided;
b) when over water away from land suitable for making an emergency landing at a distance of more than 185 km (100 NM), in the case of single-engined aeroplanes, and more than 370 km (200 NM), in the case of multi-engined aeroplanes capable of continuing flight with one engine inoperative:
1) life-saving rafts in sufficient numbers to carry all persons on board, stowed so as to facilitate their ready use in emergency, provided with such life-saving equipment including means of sustaining life as is appropriate to the flight to be undertaken; and
2) equipment for making the pyrotechnical distress signals described in Annex 2.

Example sentence:
There can be several reasons for different flight plans. One consideration is if the airplane is equipped for over-water flights.

There are extended operations that do not fly over water (ex. coast to coast USA or Australia), and also short flights that do (ex. London-Paris). Over-water flights require specific equipment such as life jackets and rafts.
