I found this out the hard way, and had to re-calculate my logbook..
Hi Rick - You can log "training time" (dual received) in a simulator (as long as it's from an authorized instructor). Part 61.1(b)(15)
Training time means training received - (i) In flight from an authorized instructor; (ii) On the ground from an authorized instructor; or (iii) In a flight simulator or flight training device from an authorized instructor. It's also part of the FAA's definition of "Pilot Time". Also 61.51(h)(1)
Logging training time states - A person may log training time when a person receives training from an authorized instructor in an aircraft, flight simulator, or flight training device.
Like "total time", to my knowledge there is no definition for "dual received" in part 1.1 or 61.1. The definitions of
flight training, ground training, instrument training, and
training time, and also partially
pilot time make up what we call "dual received."
