Multiengine Rating

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.

I seem to remember that when the prototype twin Diamond came out, the SESC
was something ridiculously low, like 1800 feet. You couldn't make it over a
tree at that altitude, even in the East!

They improved that, a great bit, for the current model! g

Long time ago, the Champion Lancer had a single-engine best
rate of climb of 100 feet per minute down. Fixed gear,
fixed pitch props, a Citabria with a nose-wheel. But it did
have a Vmc and you could get a multiengine rating cheap.

Not quite, the Lancer was produced between '61-'63, the Citabria
did not appear until 1964. More like a Tri-Champ with two engines.

Well yes, but I thought more people would know what a
Citabria was than a Tri-Champ.
