REFLECTOR: IFR training

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

Lou, 


I am sure that a CFII will have better answers than I do. When I got my IFR, you were allowed to complete a portion (can't remember how much) of your IFR training on/in an "approved simulator". This actually was cost effective and a good way to begin basic scan and principles. I believe that you do have to have At Least 15 hours of time with a CFII, and a total of 40 when you combine simulators & flying.

I am considering taking training to get my IFR certificate. I am confused as to what the requirements of a CFI or CFII are. Part 61.65 says that 40 hours of actual or simulated IFR training is required before I can take the check ride. Then it says that 15 hrs with a CFII are required, 3 of which have to be within 60 days of the check ride. It also states that a 250 mile cross country is required. 
 
What I am confused about is how much of the 40 hrs has to be with a CFII? Is it only 15 hrs and the rest is just with a check pilot? As usual the FAR is confusing. Any help would be appreciated.
