I don't get it. I understood the basis of any hour limitation was fatigue.
So 100 hours a month, 900 per year etc was to avoid something going wrong due an overworked pilot.
How then does Sim not count for this? Most pilots would agree that 4 hours in a sim can be a lot more stressful and tiring than 4 hours on line (generally speaking of course)
Is it really legal that a pilot can spend 40 hours say in a ZFT Sim and then go on to fly 100 hours in the month? I'd love to see what would happen if there was a nasty accident at the end of this.
The whole concept seems totally illogical. What happens under real aviation authorities?
