Logging Level D sim time

[rod farva]

How would you log a 4-eng turbine full motion, full vis sim? Would you log mutli-turbine, or just flight sim? Search function checked.

Thanks.

Also, is night time on NVG's loggable as night?

Level D sim time

Rod,

I log all my sim time under sim column, but not included in my totals. Officially the military counts sim time towards meeting min and totals. I used a blank column in my log book to log NVG vs "Un aided" night. I hope this helps.

A flight simulator, even the best of them, is not an aircraft, so you cannot log =any= form of "flight" time in them.

That "multi" column is a subcolumn of category and class of "aircraft" isn't it?

If it's a level D sim, you can count the landing towards your currency.

I have flow a ton of different sims, and that time has ONLY gone in the sim column. No where else. It's just sim time. That's it.

Me too.

put it as sim and log the landings

I log it under Sim, Simluated instrument, and approaches. Thats it.

Can anyone cite a reg for logging landings in a level D? I never log them because I can't find in the regs where it allows me to use it for currency. Also, where can someone reference information on what makes a sim level D. Is it just full motion?

I don't know about level D specifically, but you don't have to look any further than the currency regulation itself to find the simulator rule.
