I am a student pilot getting ready to solo next week (26 hours now). I
am interested in a 1/3rd share of a '65 P206 due to my large family.
Apparently annual insurance is currently $1950. The seller has
contacted the partnership's insurance broker who has checked with
their current insurer who states they will not insure me when I get my
private. The selling partner has expressed concern about wasting the
broker's time.

1000 violins play "my heart bleeds for the poor broker"

It's his JOB to spend his time finding insurance coverage
for people. Let him do it or move over and give the job
to someone who will.

Don't be discouraged if one broker won't work with you.
When we bought a plane we wanted 1 million smooth coverage
from USAIG. The local broker basically laughed at us and
said w/ low time and few hours in make and model we couldn't
get 1 million smooth from anyone and USAIG wouldn't insure
us.

So I called another broker (in another city) used by
a friend. He laughed--at the first broker. And got
us a favorable quote for 1 million smooth from USAIG,
zero deductable.

As he said "I don't get where the first broker you spoke
with was coming from. This is our profession, finding
workable insurance for pilots and owners is what keeps
the lights on for us"

Cheers,
