The other flying club on our field has just been told by Avemco that they
won't insure Piper Lances and other large complex planes for flying clubs
any more. Since we've got a Lance as well, we're trying to get a
confirmation from Avemco. If true, this is a big blow.
I don't know the real reason, but a Cherokee 6 isn't complex, its High
Performance. Maybe that's the hot button.

It might be the size and/or value, because the club that got told that
they can't insure their Lance any more has two Arrows and Avemco didn't
say anything about them. We've also got a Dakota, which is also HP.

One thing the club is going to ask Avemco if they'd insure us if we split
off the Lance as a separate membership category with restricted
membership. We currently require 350 hours total time plus a ten hour
checkout for the Lance - I just checked out in this winter.

Why don't you just tell Avemco to get screwed?

We did -- and saved ourselves money in the bargain.

I always wanted to tell Avemco to get screwed but I never have the chance.
They are always 50% higher than everybody else. Always have been. They
wanted $1500 for my 182 this year. Ended up with Global again for $1000.
