BATD & AATD = BASIC & ADVANCED AVIATION TRAINING DEVICE
SIM 101
Instructors have typically taught flight task procedural skills almost exclusively during in-flight training, and aeronautical knowledge during ground training. However, based on the available data, the FAA has determined that instructors can successfully teach procedural understanding of certain flight tasks during ground and flight training using BATDs and AATDs (FAA Advisory Circular AC 61-136). In other words, ATDs aren’t intended— primarily at least—to help pilots develop and hone stick-and-rudder skills. Rather, they’re essentially procedural and part-task trainers to help pilots understand and apply important concepts and to practice and master general procedures that apply to a variety of aircraft.
DOES THE FAA ALLOW LOGGING OF ATD FLIGHT TIME? Depends on make/model

FTD = FLIGHT TRAINING DEVICE
A replica of aircraft instruments, equipment, panels, and controls in an open flight deck area or an enclosed aircraft flight deck replica. It includes the equipment and computer programs necessary to represent aircraft (or set of aircraft) operations in ground and flight conditions having the full range of capabilities of the systems installed in the device for a specific FTD qualification level.
DOES THE FAA ALLOWS LOGGING OF FTD FLIGHT TIME? Yes

FFS = FULL FLIGHT SIMULATOR
A replica of a specific type, make, model, or series aircraft. It includes the equipment and computer programs necessary to represent aircraft operations in ground and flight conditions, a visual system providing an out-of-flight deck view, a system that provides cues at least equivalent to those of a 3-degrees-of-freedom motion system, and has the full range of capabilities of the systems installed in the device.
