I log my time in the sim as total flight time.....
When youre an Aussie with a flying history on different licences, for different airlines, in different parts of the world......every airline has a different opinion...and every regulatory authority has a different opinion.
The 16-20hrs I spend in the sim each year is not going to make a difference on the 800-900hrs I do annually.
I log my time in the sim not to "embellish" my experience......but because it is easier for me to add up all the columns in my logbook.
Eternity.
