All Ops Specs should say CL-65 on it cuz thats what the FAA calls it. If your asking why its called that its because the original manufacturer "Canadair" designated "CL" for all of their products.

The "65" is the amount of souls that Canadair says it can legally hold. 50 passengers, 3 crew members and 12 lap children (12 cuz the right side of the A/C has the third o2 mask in every row...and their are only 12 rows on that side.)

Cuz the Canadians told you so!

Actually, I think CL65 is the ICAO designator for CRJ's in general, while CL67 and CL69 can be used for the 700 and 900 respectively.

I'd guess the type is CL-65 while the make and model may be more specific. I have an ERJ-170/190 SIC type(practically worthless, but serves the example). We fly the E170 and E175, but the op specs refere to the airplanes as E170-100SU and E170-200LR. When it a type covers multiple make and models, like the CRJ-200/700/900 and ERJ-170/190, they generalize the type name for your certifiates.
