VMX out on the big deck eh? Hmmm..... ;-)
4. Define "constantly." The limits continue to change incrementally. In addition, significant NATOPS changes have occurred as a result of software changes.
FAA considers us powered lift.Just curious, what kind of flight time do MV-22 pilots log? (multi engine, rotor, or both)
Birds of a Feather
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 365 conducted its largest flight ever, Feb. 20, 2012. The flight consisted of 10 aircraft taking off, maneuvering and landing together, as well as six of the aircraft conducting air-to-air refueling. Almost all of the Marines in VMM-365 participated in the flight in some way.

Until they ask you what happens when an engine fails when you're in airplane mode. They're probably looking for someone with experience with the whole asymmetrical trust issue... Not an issue for you because of your interconnecting drive shaft.
Easier answer: there's no such block in a logbook. It just says "MV-22B." The Navy/MC always talk about time in "type," not multi-, helo, or whatever.
If you mean how is the civilian world going to categorize it, Birdog is right. Of course, there's only one civilian tiltrotor in the world that I expect is going to be a one-off, so you're going to have to talk a potential civilian employer that it greatly resembles whatever it is you're trying to get hired to fly. It flies like a turboprop airplane in most regimes. Hopefully they believe me when I say it, because it's true.
