I understand that I can log up to 2.5 hours in the Sim for the PPL so would it be possible to log simulated instrument in the sim to satisfy the 1.8 hours I have left of simulated instrument in the plane.
3 hours of flight training in a single-engine airplane on the control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to instruments, including straight and level flight, constant airspeed climbs and descents, turns to a heading, recovery from unusual flight attitudes, radio communications, and the use of navigation systems/facilities and radar services appropriate to instrument flight;
Ahhh... Thanks!!!!You can't count the 2.5 hours in the sim towards the 3 hours of instrument time. It specifically says "in the airplane" and does not say simulated instrument time.
The thing is, I have already been in actual IMC for 1.3 already and have experienced spatial disorientation. I figure I will do it in the plane just to be safe though.
Do it in the real thing... The instrument training for PPL is meant to save your life should you venture into IMC. The sim won't replicate the sensations that could lead to spatial disorientation so its value for training at this stage would be limited IMHO.
What happens when you get spacially disoriented? I have yet to do instrument in clouds.

you can use sim time to count towards the required 3 hours of instrument time for your ppl. however, the time in the sim does not count as total time towards your ppl license, only counts for the simulated instrument time. i think its only 2 or 2.5 though. some has to be done in the plane under the hood.
You are wrong. I postedvthe reg above.
