Also, are we allowed to log Simulator time as total time?
Thanks
Try to get coded as an IP as much as possible when you're the 'A' Code. (if you're not an IP, get upgraded as soon as you can). I logged plenty of IP time when not in the P/CP seats. If you are not an IP or AC, fly with IPs and ensure they log IP time so that you can log Pri/Sec for the entire trip.
The website has a pretty good flight time conversion calculator. When in doubt, estimate low. Just realize that the more flight time you are logging, then that means you are gone from home that much more.
Good luck.
