This observation shall be made from the flight deck or, for  airplanes without an observer seat on the flight deck, from a forward passenger seat with headset or speaker. The requirement of  paragraph (a) of this section may be reduced to a minimum of 2 1/2 hours by the substitution of one additional takeoff and landing for an hour of flight. The requirement of this paragraph may be satisfied by observation of 5 hours of simulator training for each  airplane group in one of the simulators approved under  § 121.407 for the group. However, if the requirement of paragraph (a) is met by the use of a simulator, no reduction in hours is permitted.
