Posibly a dumb question and one that has been answered before. I did a

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.


It's going to say "Center Line Thrust Only". You would be precluded from flying
conventional twins by yourself. I'd suggest getting your multi rating in a
conventional twin; the limitation doesn't run the other way.

Now, if the Skymaster is cheap flying for you, I don't know that I would pass it
up. But I don't see much utility in a multi rating that precludes flying the
majority of the fleet.
