Luke SkyToddler,
I to am in that exact situation of just needing another 50 hours multicrew for the issue of an ATPL, I spoke to the CAA and it is a definate no go using simulator hours towards the total.
Oh well, back to knock off the next 50 hours, is it true that you need to do an LST after completing the hours as I have just done my LST so if this is the case will have to wait another year?????!!!!!
Surely not.
