ME

All in all, as strange as it might seem, you are better off with a conventional ME rating vs CLT rating. Those that have a CLT rating are not allowed to fly conventional twins and log the time. But, when they fly a CLT plane they get to log it as CLT time. Now, say in the future should that CLT pilot decide to purchase a conventional twin, the first thing the insurance company will ask is "How much multi engine time do you have?", guess what? You get to say none. That's right, none!

However, if you have a conventional ME and fly a CLT plane, you get to log it as multi engine time. So, when the insurance company ask how much multi engine time you have, you get to say all that time you flew the CLT is ME time.
