I wonder if you can log multi-time in that...


I can't think of any reason you wouldn't be able to. You would be able to
log single engine time comparable aircraft that only had one engine.

I agree, but think about it, if one engine fails, you can't control the
thing at all (AFAIK), so even though it has two power plants, for all
intents and purposes, I would not consider it a "real" twin.

Now, I know if you look up in the regs, I'm sure it'll say simply "a
multi engine plane is one with more than one engine", but IMO this kind
of thing should be made an exception; kind of like how they have an
"exception" for centerline thrust planes. You don't need any kind of
special multi-engine training to be able to fly it, so why would you
need a multi-rating?


Are you under the assumption that you don't need a MI rating to fly a
Skymaster?
