IRI 800 hours rule. Simulator hours?

[Cloabp]

I would like to do the IRI(A) rating. I have close to 700 hours of ifr. So I need around 100 to start. But I was wondering if my simulator hours counts toward the 800 hours?

An applicant for an IRI(A) rating shall have:
(a) completed at least 800 hours flight time
under IFR, of which at least 400 hours shall be
in aeroplanes;

It says that '400 hours shall be in aeroplanes'.

The last 400 hours could be simulator time? Or should it be understood only as helicopter time?

Thanks
