Logging CRJ time
 

I tried to search for this but couldnt find it. Anyways what do you put in your logbook for aircraft type for a CRJ-900? I think just one answer will suffice and then this can be closed. Thanks

Come on, do you really think that this will be closed after one answer?

We need to have some fun here.

I think that if you tell people you fly the "9", then you may as well log it as DC-9 time (PIC of course.)

Well I used to fly the SAAB so I dont think I will make the "9" mistake, and everytime I preflight I still look for the four blades of death that seem to be missing on all of the 900's

CL65, same as the other CRJ's and same as it says on the back of your license if you have a type rating.

How will anyone know how kick "A" I am unless I log it as nine hundee time?

I put CRJ-900

Well, I always use the FAA Type designations.

AOPA Online: FAA Order 7110.65, Air Traffic Control, Appendix A - Aircraft designators

So, CRJ9 as far as the FAA is concerned.

There is no CRJ9 type rating. What you referenced is for ATC, not pilots. That is what shows up on the controller's screen so he knows the performance capabilities of the aircraft.

My type rating says CL-65 for the -200 and -900. So I am going to put CL-65 in my logbook. However, it is YOUR logbook, so put crj900, cl65, crj9, who cares as long as you can explain why you did it. Who knows you might be applying for a job where they want to know your total jet time of an a/c with MTOW over 55,000 lbs, it would be nice to differentiate them . My biggest pet peeve going through interviews was the HR guy that would ask me why some of my logbook entries were in blue ink and not all black ink. Because it's MY logbook buddy, plus the instructors put some entries in there too.

I know, I wouldn't want people to think I fly something that has to step climb. Eww. When I introduce myself I tell people I fly CRJ-900's for Northwest Airlines. Ok, just trying to bust your balls a little. I fly the Q400 and wouldn't want anyone thinking I fly the 200:D
