MEL time in a 337 SkyMaster? Insight please!
OK, I need some insight.
I have a friend who has an incredible opportunity to build time in a Cessna 337 SkyMaster, I understand the differences between the 337 being center line trust and normal twins, but it’s still Multi-Engine Land time. Flying the 337 you’re still managing two engines. After all, unless you’re an MEI you don’t play around with the aerodynamic differences all that much.
I’m looking for Check Airmen and Hiring CA’s for information. During an interview how would the 337 time be perceived?
Please, he has an opportunity that I wish I had and I’m sure most of you as well. It’s a multi-engine, centerline trust 337 SkyMaster; who else is envious?
Guys and Gals, as always thank you for your interest and keep it civil.

save some time, and just rent a 12 hour block in a piper seminole and bam! He'll have an interview at just about every regional out there! The skymaster would be cool if you were danny glover doing some recon in vietnam. Other than that, its just a goofy expensive airplane!

But yeah as they others have stated be aware of the centerline thrust issue. I would be careful with that as it doesn't really teach you the procedures for handling an engine failure in a traditional twin engine airplane. Just my $.02

True but essentially once you gain your CPLME you've proven your ability to operate a traditional twin. Unless your an MEI you really don't deal with engine failure procedures anyway. I and I'm sure the majority here have never had an engine failure.
