Can you name a twin engine aircraft that a complex endorsement is not required to fly?

Update:

There's 2. Amateur built don't count.

Update 2:

Now there are six. Will it end there? There are at least 2 more.

Update 3:

The DHC-6 Twin Otter is fixed gear, so it does not need a complex endorsement. There is one more I know of.

Update 4:

The Champion Lancer did not require a high performance endorsement , either, as it's 2 O-200s were 100 hp each.

Update 5:

The only other I know of is the Dornier DO-28.

Believe it or not, it is a bi-plane with an engine mounted on the end of the short, stubby, lower wing.

    Only with the land version of the Twin Otter can you get by with not having a complex endorsement. If it's float equipped you need a complex endorsement.

    While a Type rating is required, I don't think a complex endorsement is required with any jets. 61.31 (A) says nothing about it.

    That's a great question! I can't think of anything else.

    I'm assuming the criteria is fixed gear...

    The Partenavia P.68?

    There is no such thing as a 'complex' endorsement here in Canada. Any twin up to 12,500, piston engine, you can fly with a simple multi-engine rating (insurance companies might say otherwise).

    Note the Twin Otter doesn't fit into that category...

    BN-2A (Britten-Norman Islander), DHC-6 Twin Otter. Both are fixed gear.

    The De Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide. Its gear is fixed, as well as its props. (Yup, you can't feather them!)

    Also any aircraft requiring a type rating.

    Edit: Oh yeah, the Champion Lancer. That was a Citabria fixed gear nosewheel twin with fixed pitch props as well. Not only was it ugly, it was slow too.

  • Cessna 336 Skymaster

    The original model had fixed gear.

    all of them (from the right seat) if you are not the pilot in charge and the pilot in charge holds the appropriate endorsements
