logging sim time

[John2375]

I have 14 hours of multi-time from my training in 2002..
I also have 27 hours of multi-time that I did in a level 3 FTD..
Those 27 hours were also all 100% simulated instrument...

I'm getting my flight-times for my resume together - should I say I have 41 hours of multi-time of which 27 are in a simulator, or say I have 14 hours?
Should I say I have my instrument-time + the sim. instrument time or leave that out??

You have 14 hours of multi time and 27 hours of FTD time.
The 27 hrs. don't count towards total time or total multi time. Just 27 hrs. of FTD and 27 hrs. of simulated instrument time.

Hi John, I'll be the first biter. Good luck., I asked someone for you, and their suggestion is to keep accurate records of all training. Your actual time may count more. Just be honest where your time is coming from. Some people don't look at sim time because it's a given in some situations.

Years ago, I don't know if you could count sim time, but those who have maybe more hours, somewhere around 10,000, the time might reflect plus or minus a couple of hundred hours. Good luck, John, hope you find the correct answer!

Nevva Eva eva eva eva EVA count sim time as actual aircraft/total time....a sim is a sim is a sim is a sim is a sim..........if it was instrument training, then you can count it as simulated instrument, but make sure you put a notation or something that separates it from simulated instrument in the actual aircraft. When airlines ask for instrument time, they're asking for flight in actual and simulated conditions in the aircraft.

OK...so what exactly are you getting at?!? j/k

The way I've always known to do it was just to log it under sim, and not to add it in to your Total.

It's funny. I've noticed alot of high time pukes who think they're cool say nah, I've never even bothered to log my sim time. Oh how soon they forget what it's like to be a low timer trying to scrape together every once of time you possibly can to make the resume look more competitive.

Anyway, I accumulated hundreds of hours of 727 sim time when I flew support on checkrides. I logged every bit of it under simulator. (remember though, it's not total time)

No, remember it's not an airplane, simple.:beer:

Good question i was wondering the same thing....i will have about 50 hours of simulator under supervision of an instructor for all of it doing instrument practice...i have it in several diffrent FTD's i know they shouldnt be counted as TT but when i list them as sim should i count them seperate? the sims i have flown are: Beech baron, PA-31, and a king air a90 or should i just list them as simulator instrument time? i think it would be kinda valuble to point out that i have the king air sim time if i am applying for a turbine job since it helped me learn the theory and the basics of flying a turbine a/c...anyhow im just wonderin cause i dont exactly have to much time under my belt and anything i can do to point out my strengths would help me out. Thanks
