Should I put this on my resume?
 
During my internship I have had the chance to fly the dc-9, b757 and b747 full motion simulators quite a bit. Is this something I should include on a resume, or will it bring upon to many questions? THanks a lot

Yes!

You may or may not be able to legally log that time, but I would most definitely state on your resume that you have "xxx hours of Level D transport-category simulator experience, including the DC-9, 757, and 747 Classic." Make sure you have some way to document this if asked during an interview.

If nothing else, this tells potential employers that you are at least somewhat familiar with the flight characteristics of large swept-wing turbine aircraft and modern avionics, and this experience will make you a lower risk candidate in training.

Don't put it on your resume unless you got a type rating.

If it was just "fooling around with the sim" then you do not want to even log it. If it was actual training, then you could reasonably log it (this does require an instructor signature) and count it towards your total sim time. It's only value is as loggable instrument training, the fact that they were airliner sims means nothing.

i dont have any of it logged, however it was more than "fooling around." So I shouldn't even state that I have unlogged flight time in dc-9, 757 and 747 full motion sims?

corection, I do have one flight logged. It was in the 747 when I got my high alt endorsment

If you don't have a PIC rating in it, you can't use it towards the high altitude endorsement. The high altitude endorsement is for PIC qualification only.

You need to read the Reg again. It says for Pilot in Command. I ran into that when I was checked out in a CL-601 as an SIC. When I got my 737 type it took care of it because it was a PIC ride.

For whatever its worth, I had over 400 hours of unlogged, yet documented, Level D sim experience (in three different types) from working at a 121 carrier when I was applying for flying jobs. I did not list that number with flight times on my resume, rather included it with the duties of the job.

I was always asked about it during interviews...but it never hurt me.
