Airlineapps Military Aircraft Experience
I am populating my military aircraft experience in airlineapps.com and am not certain how to answer a few of the qustions.
"Requires type rating" and
"Typed in this A/C (PIC only)"
I'm tracking that FAA requires a type rating for aircraft over 12,500 lbs or turbojet-powered, regardless of weight. Having never approached the FAA to have military aircraft added to my commercial certificate, it's not clear to me whether I should indicate yes to both with valid USAF Form 8 checkrides (or whether it even matters since the type of flying is military, Part 121.436(c). Thoughts? Apologies if this is already discussed elsewhere or blatantly obvious.

I don't know if it's the "correct" answer but I entered yes for anything requiring a inst/qual checkride (ie. every military aircraft).
I suggest researching resume/app review and interview prep services and have them take a look at your app. They will have better answers than you'll find on the forums and the money spent on app review and interview prep is worth it in my opinion.

Your military colleagues will chime in—but a more clear example of your application question is useful.

I'm pretty sure those refer to FAA type ratings only. Which might apply if you got issued an actual FAA type for something like a C-40 or P-8.
But as was suggested, check with a prep or app review service.

Thanks for responding. Airlineapps simply lists the two with a check box (i.e., yes or no). So it is asking "requires type rating: yes or no" and "typed in this A/C (PIC only): yes or no". Hence, the confusion when applied to military aircraft.
