Don't be so sure of that.

Just for grins, call up you local friendly aviation insurnace broker and
ask what the premiums are for a brand new Baron for a pilot with zero
time in anything (and insurance companies for the don't care how much you
sit in front of MSFS. If you can get him to stop laughing and actually
give you a numberr, expect the policy to require you to essentially
hire a CFI for the first couple of hundred hours AFTER you have your
