I don't remember exactly, but something like 5000 ft. for the Geronimo
comes to mind. I have a copy of a copy of the POH, so the altitude
performance chart is unreadable. I aways figured I could fly on one
engine in low elevation areas, but in the mountainous west, particularly
on a non-standard day, forget it.



I can't remember either, mainly because I never had to worry about it. As a
flatland pilot, I was more concerned with the PITA hand pumping of the gear and
the flaps if I lost the critical engine (which I think was the right one... it's
been 16 years since I flew one). Pretty much any altitude at all would be
enough to stay clear of obstacles on the routes I flew.
