No, they are not. Visit the Web site for X-Plane, which tries hard to give
the impression that their simulator is certified by the FAA. (In fact,
X-Plane can be _part of_ a certified simulator, but you cannot just download
it and log the hours.)
Wrong, X-Plane is not part of any flight simulator certified by the FAA.
It is part of a Personal Computer-based Aviation Training Device, which
is something else entirely.
What they actually claim it is is "an engineering tool that can be used
to predict the flying qualities of fixed and rotary wing aircraft".
