As I was updating my logbook tonight, I began to wonder how I should note the difference between the two aircraft in the Aircraft make and model column. For pilots who have flown both varieties, how do you do it? Do you call it CL-65-200 and CL-65-701? So far I've only flown the 200, but I start differences next month and this logbook question occured to me as I was updating my flight time. Thanks in advance for your input!
Look in your CFM for the proper designation- the 200 is the CL-600-2d24 (or is that the 900?? 2B19?? Shucks I can't remember...) BUT, It DOES matter especially at places like Jet Blue that want to know how much jet time by MAX GROSS category. I think the 200 and 900 (701) are in different cats...
