Logging Sim time

[kclark]

Quick Question: I have about 18 hours in a Frasca 142. The way I understand it is that I can only log Dual time and Simulator time. However, one of my fellow instructors says you can log it simulated instrument. If this is true, does this also count towards the 100 instrument hours that the airlines require? THanks

To log simulated instrument time the FTD must be level 3 qualifed. Frasca's are not, but the Vector Piper Warrior FTD are. However, the FAA where I am located allows us to use Frasca 142's to get instrument current.


In the beginning of part 61 there are definitions for FTD and a simulator. Simluators basically move, while FTD's are stationary.
