Jose,

I thinking you might be right. A thought that came up today was to
find a good, well cared for 35 or 33 Bonanza with some sort of
relatively modern avionics and find a partner in it. Nothing too
fancy, just a good servicable machine with a full IFR panel in it and
some sort of IFR cert. GPS.

Like you say, the numbers might be advantageous that route. I have
been spending $2,500 to $3,000 a month working on the instrument rating
and building time. Of course, that included instructor time, and I was
flying two and three days a week.

Also seems that working on a Commercial would help the insurance too.

Still brainstorming, but you fellows have some good ideas. That's why
I asked in the first place!!

Thanks,

RC

As others have said, a commercial certificate won't affect your insurance
rates but it might make it possible to get quotes from companies that won't
quote a private pilot in a particular airplane. As the airplanes get more
sofisticated, insurance companies start to expect that you will have more
advanced ratings.
