I'm guessing the "N number" was a local thing only used during training and by your company. Most likely not official and not actually registered with the FAA. I don't think I'd put an N number in my logbook for a sim. I too have seen sims with N numbers on the panel for use during training, but it didn't correspond with the FAA sim designation.

But I'd be interested in seeing what that N number comes back as when you search it in the FAA database.

They're probably better at adding new stuff than deleting old but when the airline's OpsSpecs are no more you'd think they'd realize we're not using the sim anymore.

Josh, I was thinking the same thing, something like N100AA or N500NW just used inhouse for reference.

Logbook entries are only needed if you are going to use the time for a rating or for currency. Once I got all my ratings I did a bunch of proficiency time in the simulators with another CFII running the sim...there was no entries made in anybodys logbook, nor was there a need to.

I simply do not log simulator time anymore, nobody ever questioned it. My logbook is for FLIGHT time...simulator time is just cluter.

Really? What does the regulation say?

§ 61.189 Flight instructor records.
(a) A flight instructor must sign the logbook of each person to whom that instructor has given flight training or ground training.
How about that?

No need to make any entry, other than that required under the regulation, right?
