CRJs. Although I've heard many insurance companies will credit CL65 time towards the insurance requirements required to fly a CL60 (Challenger 600 series.)What aircraft would a CL-65 type allow you to operate as PIC without any further training?
Anyone know?
That is correct, but I am pretty sure the TYPE is a different type rating. Anyone out there know a diffinitive answer on this?Challenger 850/870/890 which are just converted CRJs.
They sell it as a different type rating, however the training is the same. There are some minor differences in the looks of the center pedestal and some switches for obvious reasons. Basically, they take things out of the "standard" CRJ, you just need for an airline operation and certification.That is correct, but I am pretty sure the TYPE is a different type rating. Anyone out there know a diffinitive answer on this?
:yeahthat:Please do not pay for your own transition course, unless you are becoming a contract pilot. Paying for training for a job is ridiculous.
NO ONE!Who said anything about buying a rating?
Where did you find this out. Is there a source? The only thing official i could find is an old FAA Advisory Circular from several years ago. That cleary showed the 600 series was different from cl65 crj. Nothing on the 850 or GE.CL-65:
CRJ-100/-200/-440/700/705/900
CL-600 (challenger type):
Challenger 600
CL-601:
Challenger 601
CL-604:
Challenger 604
CL-605:
Challenger 605
BD-700:
Global express
CRJ 800 series:
Poor man's global
I am working on a corporate gig (again after waiting to upgrade :bangheadand they fly the CL-604's and a 605. 2 type ratings although VERY similar. But its only the "short course" to transition- much like differences training between the CRJ's.
I just called the St. Louis FSDO, and spoke to two inspectors who had me on a speaker phone, and they knew for sure, FlightSafety says so also, and since some type of work is done on the Challenger 850 right there near St. Louis, that the....I just got a "dear john" email for a job flying an 850. Reason: CL65 type is not an 850 type. I thought it was interchangeable because it's a converted 50 seater. Apparently it's a different type. Maybe it's due to having longer range fuel tanks or other slight differences. Maybe it's an airline conspiracy to make a CL65 type even more worthless![]()
Probably because if you called of another FSDO they would tell you it's not. And then if you called a third they probably would tell you it was.The amount of misinformation on this website is absolutely ridiculous.
