Once you have the minimum hours required, that should be good enough to get an interview, IF your sponsor is doing a good job. That said, then it's very important for you to fly the simulator, such that the guys grading your ride feel confident that you actually perform up to the hours that you say you have. In other words, if you show 300 hours IFR time, you're probably not expected to fly the sim as well as someone who shows 2000 hours of instrument time.

AA, why are you pulling 9 g's on the range? Perhaps you need to lay off the g's a little and increase your roll rate, thereby giving yourself a little more time on final. Just a suggestion from a very old hog driver, who was used to 25 cents per bomb and 50 cents for strafe.
