ME Insurance
As an Aviation Insurance Underwriter I can tell you that some aviaion
insurance agencies do not represent ALL of the available underwriting companies. Most do, but not all. I put zero-multi-engine time pilots in twins all the time. The transition pilot is an readily insurable risk if you have the right aircraft. We put transition pilots in Twin Comanches and Cessna 310s all the time. A large part of my book of business is multi-engine transition pilots. "Scott Draper" wrote in message ... You motivated me to call AOPA. (I had their number handy and didn't have Facer's.) The lady I talked to said they all use the same underwriters, so if an agent has accurate information, they should all have the same capability about attaining insurance. She said 1) No one would insure my student in a Twin Comanche until he had at least 500 hours, rating or no rating, and 2) She could put him into a Seneca or Cessna 310 with as little as 200 hours, without a rating. So if what she said is accurate, the local insurance guy that my student is using has provided inaccurate information. My student has been trying to buy a Twin Comanche, and yet he may not be insurable in that aircraft. He's also said that he couldn't get insurance without the rating and that he couldn't get it regardless in something with lots of horsepower like a 310. Thank you!

One insurance company is saying "no way"; they'll only insure him AFTER he get's his ME rating. I'm wondering if this is universally true. I bought our Aztec before I even had my Private. My partner had his MEL though. We were both on the policy as soon as I got my ASEL. I was just required to spend 25(?) hours dual and then 15 hours solo in the plane before I was insured for carrying passengers. Call Andy Facer at Facer Insurance. (It's storming here and I'm offline so I can't look up the info.) --kyler |

So what are the more insurable light twin choices for a ME transition
pilot? Rob "Michele Howard" wrote in : ... I put zero-multi-engine time pilots in twins all the time. The transition pilot is an readily insurable risk if you have the right aircraft... |
