Skymaster MEL

Posibly a dumb question and one that has been answered before. I did a
quick search and did not find the answer.
If you did all your twin training in a Skymaster and received you MEL
would you be limited to inline thrust twins or is a "normal" MEL? If
it is inline thrust only how are would it be to change to all twins.
Reason I am asking is I may have a chance to do some training in a
Skymaster and I am wondering if it is worth it to get my MEL.

What do you mean by MEL?

Minimum Equipment List?

You would be limited to inline thrust until you did the parts of
the practical test that deal with asymetrical thrust.

The value of the rating depends on your situation.

I knew what he meant and I think you did as well.

To Ron, You would have a centerline thrust restriction on your ME rating.

You're not Steven McNicoll in disguise, are you?

you would have a centerline thrust restriction on your Multi Engine rating.

No, but I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn recently.
It took me awhile to guess that the OP was using the abreviation MEL to
mean Multi Engine Licence.
Since there is no such thing, it confused me.
Minimum Equipment List is the most common meaning for MEL and is
applicable to higher performance aircraft than the low powered single
engines.
If English not the primary language of the OP, then there is an excuse
for the faux pax.
Instead of chastising the OP (as others on this group are oft to do) I
simply asked for clarification in a not threatening manner.

Try Multi-Engine Land on for size.

SEL/SES/MEL/MES - Single Engine Land / Single Engine Sea / and so forth for
multis

Since there is no such thing, it confused me.

I just pulled my old, yellowed certificate out of hiding to check and yes it
does say "Airplane Multiengine Land" along with a section on the reverse
side labeled "Replacement of Certificate". Not a word anywhere about
license.

MEL - Multi Engine Land. As in AMEL.

No, he was referring to Multi-Engine-Land, a rating placed on
a Pilot Certificate.
