I believe that I read somewhere on this board at one time that the B717 was a separate type rating from a DC9/MD-80, etc. However, this is a direct quote from the most recent Flight Standardization Board (FSB) Report from the FAA regarding the DC-9 and all it's variants.
2. PILOT "TYPE RATING" REQUIREMENTS.
In accordance with the provisions of FAR 1 and 61, the same pilot "type rating" is assigned to all DC-9/MD-80/MD-90/and 717 variants listed in paragraph 1.3, and is designated "DC-9".
1.3 This report addresses DC-9 variant models, including: DC-9-11, -12, -13, -14, -15, -15F, -21, -31, -32 (VC-9C), -32F, (C9A C-9B), -33F, -34, -34F, -41, -51, and MD-80 variant models including: DC-9-81 (MD-81), DC-9-82 (MD-82), DC-9-83, (MD-83), DC-9-87 (MD-87), MD-88, MD-90-30, MD-90EFD, and 717. Refer to FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet A6WE.
So, I guess my question is this...Does anyone out there have a "717" type rating, or does it say "DC-9"? Is there anyone out there that was already typed in a DC-9 and then checked out on the 717? Did you get a seperate type?
Thanks for any input. Mainly just to satisfy my curiosity, because it sure appears from the FAAs FSB report that it's the same type rating.
