Landing Currency in the Simulator

[tschooler]

I keep getting flagged for landing currency due to my last 3 landings being in the sim. Is there a way to count those sim landings in APDL against currency requirements for those of us who don’t land very often? Thanks.

There is currently not a function in APDL to log more than one landing per “leg” entered. The only workaround as of now is to log 3 separate legs on your sim day.

A bigger issue is how to log them at all without it counting towards flight time and FDP etc.?

This is a good point. I don’t have a solution to address both at the same time.

Is there any solution in the works for this? Us widebody IROs could use something to fix the currency flags. Thanks.

Also helpful for us sim instructors. I only fly 1 trip a month, so I keep my landing currency almost exclusively with bounces in the sim.

So far the solution is to just let it keep telling you you’re illegal and flagging constantly. I just went illegal this am on APDL but I’m not. Is thr three separate entries for a sim event the workaround still?

It’s a quasi-workaround as the “sim legs” will still count towards FDP and flight times when it shouldn’t.
