The actual premium was $1885 (I just rounded it up) The PA24-250
is a high performance retract which will generally cost more than
a fixed gear airplane. When I bought it I had 50 hours retract
time and 0 hours in type. I now have 50 hours in the plane and
a multi-engine rating added since then too so I'm hoping it may
go down a bit.

Actually though, I'll be happy if it just doesn't go up. :^)

That's more than Mary and I pay, combined!

What kind of insurance are you carrying?

Remember that it's a Comanche 250 that he only bought in April.
He probably doesn't have a lot of time in the make/model.



And retracts cost much more to insure then fixed-gear birds.
