Logging Simualated Instrument Time in a ATD or FTD
Asked by: Matt B 5392 views FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor, Instrument Rating
With the publication of AC 61-136B, it specifically states in Appendix D paragraph 3 that: "Simulated instrument time can be logged in an ATD, but only during the time when the visual component of the training session is configured for instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) and the pilot is maintaining control solely by reference to the flight instruments." This AC was published in September 2018 and I did my training for my instrument rating in 2012/2013. My old instructor never logged simulated instrument time however, that's all we did in these sim sessions. All practice approaches, BAI, etc. (all recorded in the remarks section).
My question is, can I go back and retroactively log this time as "simulated instrument" and not just "flight simulator" time?
