Hey I just have a quick question for everyone. How do you log FTD time (Frasca 141/142) time? Do you just put it in the "simulator" column of your logbook, or do you put it in your "total time" column as well? Thanks.
just simulator as the Frascas are approved simulators that count towards TT
Or for currency.Unless it's for a certificate or rating, don't even waste your time with it.
No simulator counts toward total time. Not even a Level D full motion, much less a Frasca... Never log simulator time for TT. You'll have some 'splainin to do.
OP: Unless it's for a certificate or rating, don't even waste your time with it. Think of a sim as a good learning experience and nothing more.
No simulator counts toward total time. ....Yea, that is what I thought.
yeah, re-read my message, i was sleepy and missed 3 characters from 1 word which completely changed the meaning of my messageNo simulator counts toward total time. Not even a Level D full motion, much less a Frasca... Never log simulator time for TT. You'll have some 'splainin to do.

thats true. i guess i will just admit i was waaaayyy too tired when i type both of those messages. i was thinking pilot time, not TT, whoops.But neither version is in accordance with the regulations.
I mean, he could, but do you think he should?
Yeah, but the 8710 asks you to break it down between airplanes, helicopters, some other aircraft categories, and several forms of sim/training devices, so that total might still be of questionable use.However, the FAA 8710 asks for "Pilot time", which includes FTD and simulator time,
My money's on total "flight time" being more generally useful, which may be why it seems most logbook publishers label the column "total duration of =flight="
