That's the correct phraseology. Loose an engine and you'll descend to the
single engine service ceiling (density altitude). The Aztec is 6000 ft. Plenty of MEA's out west that are higher than that. Since this is usenet and nitpicking is all the rage... the above is not quite correct. Service ceiling is the altitude at which you can no longer climb faster than something like 100 fpm. If you're above the service ceiling when you lose the engine you will probably be able to maintain something somewhat higher, like maybe 6005 feet... ![]() .... and if you actually "loose" an engine, you'll be able to maintain an even higher altitude, as you won't have the weight and drag of that engine any more.
