It is still difficult to reconcile the notion that sim time can be taken as the same as real flight time when the UK LASORS document so unequivocally states:
"STD time is creditable towards courses and licence issue but it is not flight time and must not be recorded as such. STD time must be recorded separately from flight time recorded in the logbook."
Whatever games are played with words or the absence of words this statement is clear.
SIM TIME IS NOT FLIGHT TIME AND MUST NOT BE RECORDED AS SUCH
I rest my case.
