Any flying clubs out there with 6 seater retracts?

And have you gotten the bad news about insurance yet? We've had to
restrict the number of pilots on our Lance and institute an annual
training program for them.

AFAICT, most national capitals have already reached bogon criticality,
passed it, seen it in the rear view memory and now look back on the
moment as a fond, if distant, memory. -- Robert Uhl

What's involved in the annual training program?

2-3 hours of ground school with emphasis on gear and prop emergency
procedures.

Unix is great. The Unix culture is magnificent. Life in a Unix without

sounds like a standard plan for the BFR... just a pain to do it every two
years..

this months AOPA Mag as an article that AOPAIA is now extending insurance to
clubs, because many insurance companies are dropping clubs. Is it a club? or
is it "multiple owners"

We just switched to AOPAIA this month for the same reason with AVEMCO and
our Lance.

Yeah, our insurance is due with Avemco on the 31st, and we only found out
about AOPAIA today. I'm hoping we can switch, because right now Avemco
will allow fewer named pilots on our Lance than we have people who want to
fly the Lance.

I think I have a new personal rule: Never watch anything which includes
the author's name in the title, particularly if the author is dead.

Weird. AOPA couldn't get close to AVEMCO's price for my PA-32R-301.

My club was told a few months back by our current carrier (Avemco,
IIRC), that they would not renew the insurance on our Debonair and
Bonanza. The word was they were getting out of insuring high
performance planes for clubs. They still do clubs, they still do
high-performance, they just won't do both at the same time.

We ended up switching to AIG. They required that we stiffen up our
requirements for flying the Debonair & Bonanza. We now need an
instrument rating and 350 hours total time. We also now need all our
retract checkouts to include 15 takeoffs and landings.

Funny, we were told that it was only complex 6 seaters they didn't like.
The other club on the field has two Arrows and a Lance, and it's only the
Lance that they're having problems with. And we didn't have any problems
with our Dakota, which is high performance but not complex and not a six
seater.
