The 8710 isn't required for the interview but it does show the sim ID and time flown. And if you don't have anything in your logbook supporting the type ride, and potential failures, the training records would help bridge that gap. You gotta show them you put some effort into answering their questions at least. No 2 logbooks look the same so there is no canned answer. Just make an effort.

The logbook review is a test in following instructions and organization. Take the event the same as you would preparing a final paper for a college course.
I have actual logbooks, and used post it notes and sticky arrows to tab the pages in my 4 books for the requested items. Then used a yellow highlighter on the entry.
I also made a spreadsheet of the last 5 yrs of logbook totals.
They had my books and they review then prior to you being in the room. The interviewer said he already looked at my books, and had no question on them, and we visited about other topics.
Read the directions and prepare something that can be understood simply without your presence.

From: B767 Captain
I was always told (and have taught) that a pilot needed to log any time required for a certificate or rating, or to show currency. Since it is simulator time, not flight time, is it not required to log it? Or is the fact that you have the training records a reasonable substitute? I don’t know the answer for sure, I’m just looking for others thoughts on this.
For reference:
§ 61.51 Pilot logbooks.(a) Training time and aeronautical experience. Each person must document and record the following time in a manner acceptable to the Administrator:
(1) Training and aeronautical experience used to meet the requirements for a certificate, rating, or flight review of this part.

I tabbed my Metro type because I had to do some of it in the plane where most was in the sim. Didn't tab my Learjet type which of course was all sim, but I believe I brought my training records with me. In any case seems a bit overkill when everything is listed right there on your cert, and a simple FAA records check will show them too.
