Human Factors
Departed SJU with a WATERS routing from dispatch. In the climb discovered aircraft was Limited Extended Overwater (162 miles); rerouted aircraft to comply with 162 [mile] rule. Dispatch filed incorrect route and [this was] not discovered at gate. Change software to not allow route to aircraft.
I received a message right after takeoff from the crew stating I had them filed beyond 162nm. I immediately sent them a routing I wanted them to fly which would keep them within 162nm enroute.
An Airbus Captain and Company Dispatcher reported the aircraft was initially filed on a route that would have taken them beyond the certificated 162-mile limit.
