Narrative:

On sep/sun/01, we were cleared present position to omn. We accepted this clearance and landed without incident in mco. It was not until the next day, that I realized we may have exceeded the 50 NM from shore rule. Being new on the airbus it didn't cross my mind that this airplane is not certified for eow (equipped for overwater). My previous airplane was. It is incumbent on me to be sure, when operating near or along the shoreline to be more aware.
