Teaching in the sim this afternoon (FAA approved AATD) - not fancy, but its certified/loggable instrument time and it works! (Not to mention cheap/free)

There’s more to flying than the SHOW! ?If you log it as total time or anything other than FTD time and apply for an airline, you will be laughter out of the interview. Airlines don’t even count level D simulators as anything other than simulator, never any type of flight time.
I know you did say log as flight time.
What is acceptable to log for instrument training currency by the FAA is different than what is flight time.

I had no idea the SHOW was so cruel. The PBY flight sounds fantastic. Is it typically something offered on the islands?I know.
When I flew corporate, they wouldn’t count it either..
And under the other than The Show category... going on an hour flight in a PBY-5A this Saturday to include a water landing and takeoff in Kaneohe Bay.

Take and post photos @HAL PilotYup.
This is supposed to be the last PBY flying that actually sank a U-boat.
Here it is being craned off the USS Essex at Pearl Harbor.

Affirm and agree. I'm giving instrument instruction under Part 61 for initial instrument rating. Under the new Part 61 rules, an applicant can do half of the 40 hours of required instrument time in a certified AATD. Its a huge cost savings for my students...If you log it as total time or anything other than FTD time and apply for an airline, you will be laughter out of the interview.

East of the town or the airport? Don’t recognize the name. Sounds like a blast!Finally got my Flight Review and C-185 check out. Did it with a buddy in his C-185E. Awesome plane. Sorry. No pics. Having too much fun. Don't even remember what avionics it had. Custom panel with EFIS attitude gyro with altitude and speed tapes. EFIS DG some sort of Garmin GPS with ADSB that audibly calls out traffic. Robertson STOL kit with droop ailerons when flaps deployed and VGs. Found some of that dirt. A great place I never had been at. East of Coolidge, Jamison Tanks. Maybe what @Deere1450 had in mind. Endless touch and goes. Never over a couple hundred feet on the go. Just a 45 degree turn and back around tear drop. One way, then the other. Slight crosswind. Turning on the one wheel roll out to avoid bushes. Tons of fun. Now back to my 65 HP Luscombe.
Looked on the map. I know what you’re talking about now. I’ve had many a desert party out there in high school. Family farm just on the west side of the canal.East of the town or the airport? Don’t recognize the name. Sounds like a blast!
