I'm a FO on the 727-200, which is a Stage 3 program. However, on the main Pilot Center page it says I'm qualified to file PIREPS with the L-100, which looks to me to be a Stage 4 aircraft. Just curious as to whether I can put the Captain Sim Herc out of the hangar for a flight or two...

The L-100 is the civilian version of the C-130 if that is what you are asking.

Welcome to the mighty 727 program Bill. The L-100 has too many engines. You'll be much happier with 3. smile

I think they're the same model. I'd check the status and capabilities. I think there's an L-100 manual. ACARS might mess up but you never know.

I"ll just give it a go and see if it accepts the PIREP. No biggie if it dosn't, I was just curious and thinking a few flights in and out of some shorter runways would be fun.

Yep, you definitly are rated in the L-100. I flew a non-fleet model C130 quite a bit too sometime back and it took my pirep with no problem. I need to fly it some more also. Maybe this week end.
