Default Why haven't rental rates come back down?

At least you are still able to fly. At the FBO/Flight School
I have rented from for more than six years, the entire fleet
of aircraft have been grounded since January. The excuse
was that they can no longer pay for the insurance on those
aircraft.


Here's a "cold water shot of reality" from about eight years ago:

Yearly insurance on a 1979 PA28-181, 1M/100K:
Private owners (2 named pilots) $850.
Club (2 planes/ 28 members) $2800 per plane.
Local FBO (training & rental) $8600
