Example, say in several years you log 400 hours in the Skymaster with an inline rating, if you wanted to purchase a conventional multi engine plane, The FAA will not recognize your time as multi engine time. However, if you have conv. Multi engine rating, all the time in the Skymaster will be considered multi engine experience. I know, it is nuts, but that's the way it is. I suggest you consider training in a conventional twin.

Good Luck

I was not aware of this quirk in the FAA regulations. Can you point me toward the FAR for reference? I need to advise my students.

Thanks!
