    How to get the most out of IFR currency using sim or approved flight training device?

    Your Elite PI-121 is considered to be a BATD now, here is a link to the current LOA. The link says 135 but the same LOA covers the 121 also. https://flyelite.com/downloads/faa/pi135.pdf I can’t find it right now but I have seen where the FAA interprets the requirement to log the ATD’s...

    Ghetto engine heat preservation

They don’t say anything about having endorsements for the plane. If he doesn’t have the endorsements then he can’t act as, and log, PIC...

Are you sure that he is making you redo all of your maneuvers or just section IV?

    Do parachutes prevents death when jumping from an aircraft?

    I believe that the whole point is that without making an equal number of jumps without a parachute there is no proof that the parachute kept you from being injured. You now need to make 3600 jumps without a parachute and report whether there was an increase in the number of deaths or serious...
