Ben, the simulator maintained by most flight schools in the US are only usable for part of the Instrument course, and NONE of the commercial time building requirements. (ATC-xxx type or Frasca 142 and variants) If approved by the local FSDO, even Level 1 Flight Training Devices (i.e. Frasca 142 or AST 300) can be used both for partial time towards the commercial rating and for either solo instrument currency or an instrument proficiency check with a CFII. See this link: http://www2.faa.gov/nsp/nsp/simftd3a.htm I have flown "full motion" simulators in the military, but they did not count (as far as the military were concerned) for qualification check rides, or to maintain currency, that still had to be completed in a "real world" environment. That may be true in the military but is not true of Level 1-6 Flight Training Devices -- see the link above. -- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com |
