# Logging Simulator Time

Wader supports logging simulator sessions separately from regular flights. Simulator entries appear in your logbook list alongside flights but with a distinct card style so they are easy to identify at a glance.

***

## Creating a simulator entry

1. On the **Logbook** screen, tap the **+** button to open a new entry.
2. Set the **date** (the date defaults to today. Tap it to change it if you are logging a past or future session).
3. Select the **simulator qualification level** that matches your session.
4. Fill in the remaining fields — simulator registration, date, aircraft type, crew, airports, times, and logbook details — as you would for a regular flight.
5. Tap **Save**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.waderaviation.com/quick-start/logbook/logging-flights/logging-simulator-time.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
