Simulator hours

Post by krrave »

Hi All,

I reviewed the list set out by TC . CPL requires 100 PIC (20 CC), 35 dual for training. 10 hours of sim time can count towards the 20 hour dual requirement. To make up 200 hours I need 65 hours. Can anyone tell me - with proof - that I can not count simulator time for these hours?

I doubt TC will let you count one dual flight to satisfy 2 requirements , which means if you did 1 hour dual night time under the hood , it will count only as instrument time and 'not' night and instrument both.

FYI hood time is not cunducted during night hours.

Why not? After your PPL can instrument training not be conducted at night?

CAR 421.30 (4)


An applicant for a commercial pilot licence — aeroplane shall
(amended 2006/12/14; previous version)
(i) have completed, subject to paragraph (b), a minimum of 200 hours flight time in aeroplanes, of which a minimum of 100 hours shall be pilot-in-command time including 20 hours cross-country pilot-in-command flight time

CAR 101

flight time means the time from the moment an aircraft first moves under its own power for the purpose of taking off until the moment it comes to rest at the end of the flight; (temps de vol)

Sure it is, uh, conducted, whenever, if your instructor decides to do it at night then he/she is the one that logs the night PIC....those damn self-serving overpaid and underworked top guns....

Your proof is CARS 421.30, the first line of the requirements is
(i) have completed, subject to paragraph (b), a minimum of 200 hours flight time in aeroplanes
Total time is in the plane. Sim time counts towards the sub requirements and night/instrument ratings.



EDIT- Doh! BPF beat me to it as I was spilling beer on my keyboard!

You can't cross log night and IMC. It's one or the other.

Well, night and instrument you sure can, but for the purposes of licencing requirements you can't log dual night and -hood- time. Dual night is pointless anyways past the night rating requirement.

My question is why would you want a commercial pilot's license but not want to fly as much as you can?

I would have way more hours if I could afford them. I don't even use the sim, it's like a penalty, not fun at all.

I wasn't talking about you. I know all your IDs, and I never even thought about you when I made that statement. I mean, you weren't present in the thread at the time, right?

Just stating my one of my main reasons for having multiple accounts. I had lost some weight and was flying again so I made a new one.

Pretty much. As an adult (mid teenager) I have never gone below 200lbs. I think last time from eating less and walking more I was under 240. I don't want to jinx it but I was trending lower a few days ago.

Trey, what's happening?
