Huey, you're right, of course, about the definition of flight time. My comment was badly worded - I really meant that I wondered if the UK had now adopted that definition which previously they had not. I guess the latest ANO will contain the answer !
Did you open the link? It seems to be pretty explicit that you log the time as flight time.
2000 hours of sim time at 36? That's pretty good going - at least 125 hours per year since you were 20. If some of that time is as an instructor then of course it wouldn't count. Neither would time in a type you weren't rated on, as you wouldn't be operating in a genuine crew capacity.
