AOPA got me a quote of $3K for $1M smooth, $300K hull on a Turbo 182T.


Wow, really? What kind of hours/safety courses do you have in your
background that resulted in such a low quote for $1M smooth at that hull
value?


I have 900 hours of retract time insured with them with no claims, accidents
or incidents. Still, they won't cover me until I get 4 hours of dual on a
G1000-equipped airplane.


I just re-upped with USAIG and am paying $2900 for the '73 Bonanza with a
hull value around $170k (TKS, new engine, tip tanks, new avionics,
turbo-normalized), not $1M smooth. This quote with an IFR rating and about
1,200 total hrs, 600 hrs in the insured aircraft. Or is the difference due
the fact that the Bo is a retractable?


Hmm. I was paying about $2K for $1M smooth, $90K hull on my 172RG.
