CL65 = type rating for the CRJ series of aircraft ONLY.
The challenger series have their own type ratings. (CL600, CL604, don't know the others for the newer versions)
A semi-current list of type rating designations can be found here:

Thanks for the info... I guess there would be no sense in trying for a Challenger job without the exact type. I'm in the airline world so I have no clue if there are jobs out there that would hire without the type then send me to get the correct type. All I ever see are job postings requiring time in type. Seems odd to me that they all require time in type. Do they really think thousands of hours in an RJ is useless? I'm pretty sure I could handle left seat in a G5 and especially a Challenger with some training...and without having time in type.

MINFuel, I flew the CL-65 for 10 years and then flew corporate for a couple of months in the CL-604 before moving on to UPS, as stated in earlier post it is a seperate type rating. If you have flow the CL-65 for a while the CL-604 type is a joke. It should be differences training. Good Luck!

In some cases I have seen it happen, the better places to get your paycheck from will hire the person not the type. I've seen friends hire other friends over already typed guys just for that reason.

I was just curious about something. I'm going to be displaced from my base and I'm thinking I would like a new type out of it. I have contemplated proffering for displacement to the CRJ 700. Does anyone know if the CRJ 700 type is interchangable with a global express type? The link that Josh provided doesn't work anymore. thx...

The link I provided for some reason doesn't have the Global Express listed, but IIRC, the Global Type rating designation is BD700. It is not the same as or interchangable with any CRJ type rating (CL65).

Plus Corporate aircraft like the global are likely to have 3 times as much avionics and goodies compared to regional jets. ie HUD, 3 FMS HF Radios and all that fun stuff. So wile the physical flying aspects may be similar the actual button pushing can be drastically different at first.
