There is one thing that comes as a bit of surprise though
That's interesting, since my school actually includes 50 hrs in ME FTD in the "total logged time" that students will have after graduation..
Any chance you remember the FAR reference?
There's no FAR reference, the FAA doesn't care what you log or don't log as long as you meet all of their requirements when you apply for a certificate or rating.
The reference is all of the potential aviation employers who will show you the door if you try to claim sim as flight time/total time to meet their minimums. Sim is sim, and that's it. Err on the conservative side when logging time, because if an interviewer doesn't like the way you do it you are not going to win an argument with him/her.
