Peter you missed my point; My argument is if there's a sim it should be law that it's used and not done in the aircraft (for example there's no F50 sim in oz so well they have no other choice)
Bit of a strange concept. Is there something that invalidates a sim if you have to cross water to reach it?
Either it's not legal to train in a real a/c in which case it doesn't matter where the sim is - you have to use it; or it is legal to train in the sim. Putting distances from the sim in legislation?
Sensible to use an aircraft - not going there.....
