Log Time, Build Proficiency, Maintain Currency

When used for instructional purposes, only an appropriately qualified FAA-certified flight instructor may make any subsequent endorsements and/or pilot logbook entries. Pilot time in an ATD may be logged as instruction received, instrument time, or total time only. There is no maximum amount of time that can be logged, only a maximum that can be credited toward your certificate or rating.

Refer to the FAA Letter of Authorization for the complete list of conditions and limitations.
