I tried searching around and keep getting conflicting reports or incomplete information. I read Part 61 and Part 142 of the FAR but it's difficult to follow at times. I have the chance to get my ATP but my hours are just shy of the required 1500 unless I use some of my sim time. It looked like in Part 61 you can use up to 100 hrs (which is enough) if the sims were certified by Part 142. I assume military training would count, but I my knowledge of the civilian side is very limited. Any information or help would be appreciated.
