3 hours? I thought it was 6 hours. Oh well, as I recall I think all of it had to be simulated under the hood. I got my PPL over 10 years ago so I have no idea if it's changed or not.

Part 141: Private - Appendix B to Part 141(4)(c)(2) allows a credit for a maximum of 20 percent of the total flight training hour requirement if the training is in a flight simulator (therefor a 35 hour program - typical - would allow a credit of 7 hours). Appendix B to Part 141(4)(c)(3) allows a credit for a maximum of 15 percent of the total flight training hour requirement if the training is in a flight training device (so a 35 hour program could have 5.25 hours). In the case of a commercial curriculum then it's 30 percent and 20 percent respectively of the total hour requirement of the course (Commercial - Appendix D to Part 141(4)(c)(2) and (3)).
In all cases the flight training can be anything in the curriculum the sim or FTD is certified for, not just instrument flying.
