Can I count simulator hours towards a commercial flight certificate training? I attend a Part 141 training school and have a total of 98.5 hours of flight training towards a commercial certificate, with 8 hours of simulator training, also for the commercial certificate. Can I count both the flight and the sim hours towards the aeronautical experience for the commercial certificate? It would be a lot cheaper and faster to reach the required 120 hours this way. The Beech Baron is not cheap to rent!
According to the FAA, yes you can count those hours, but they can only count for only

Under FAR part 141:
7 hours(35%) of 35 hours of flight training towards a private pilot certificate
17 hours(50%) of 35 hours of flight training towards an instrument rating
36 hours(30%) of 120 hours of flight training towards a commercial pilot certificate
10.5 hours(30%) of 25 hours of flight training towards a multi-engine rating
12.5 hours(50%) of 25 hours of flight training towards an ATP cerfificate
2.5 hours(10%) of 25 hours of flight training towards a flight instructor certificate
1.5 hours(10%) of 15 hours of flight training towards an instrument flight instructor rating.

From what I see, you can probably fill up your remaining hours with sim time because you only have a little over 20 hours left and you can have 28 more hours of sim time towards your certification.
