Military tail numbers
How are you guys logging military tail numbers? I fly Blackhawks, and it is not the standard N-number. I created 1 profile with one of our fleets tail numbers and have been using that for all my entries. Basically 1 tail number for all my flights. Is that a problem if I am able to explain why I am doing it and back it up with my military flight records? Any input would be great. Thanks!

I input all my military flights into logbook pro.
In aircraft ident, I have the following:
Navy/Marine, used the BuNO, normally a 6 digit number 162348, 161412, etc
Army/USAF is logged on tail number, 10-00386, 85-2444 etc
(logic is that Navy tail numbers are repeated in squadrons, and aren't tied to the airframe)
Any other stuff just gets N123AB numbers
Sims get a "description" Like Model is BE300 and identification is CAE-BT-D (CAE's BT sim, Level D) or POT-FTD-B (Potomac FTD level B)

In my logbook I have the type of and model (ex. UH60L or UH60A+) as well as the full serial number (ex. 00-26871). Really what it boils down to is being able to explain to the hiring panel how/why you logged the flight time the way you did.
