Skymaster MEL

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.

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.

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

I once heard that F-18 pilots who go for their civilian ticket on the
basis of military receive the same limitation because the thrust lines
are so close. Not sure if anyone could confirm/deny that or not.

When my nephew graduated from AF UPT, his rating was "Multi-Engine,
Land, Centerline Thrust Only." He actually had to go for a SEL checkride
before he could legally take his siblings & cousins for a ride in a
Cherokee.

He'd probably never done any all engine out practice before, so the
SEL checkride was probably important.

true.. same for F-15 and T-38

showing a valid (current) military check ride in something like a B-52 or
KC-135, C-17, C141
will remove the restriction

I don't mean to be picky, but would one engine out exercises performed
in a B-52 be as interesting as performed in say, a civilian light twin?

Wouldn't that depend on whether that engine out was caused by a SAM? G

Depends on the actual airplane weight.

A B737/800 at max gross will perform better then a 135HP Apache on one
because the regs say that it has to meet certian climb gradient
requirments...and fortunatly I have only had the pleasure at Max gross
in a simulator...but having taken my MEL in a 135HP Apache the first
time I tried "the Pig" at max gross...I have flashbacks...
