I haven't shopped it out, figuring it will save me some time to find
out in usenet what discounts to be aware of before I start making
calls. Newps commented in another thread that it would cost $8-10k to
insure him in a Columbia, versus $1900 in a Bonanza. That's what
prompted this thread.
Nope. AAMOF, as a infrequent flyer, you're going to pay more. MUCH
more. Particularly with a high performance aircraft.
Have 3000+ hours, an IR, and fly 300+ hours a year and your rate
will go WAY down.
That's the kind of info I was looking for. The cost of accumulating
3k hours outweighs the reduced insurance premium. But getting the IR
sooner rather than later may be justified.
