Point of reference: The Diamond rep felt confident that owners yearly
insurance budget shouldn't be more than "$24k to $32k per year depending
on flight experience"

24 to 32 THOUSAND???

It's a jet! :-))
That's also in the range for a TBM 700 and 850 turboprops.
Besides, if the owner can afford over a million dollars for a toy they
can afford 20 or $30 thousand for insurrance.

Did he happen to mention how many hours to get checked out and to make
that insurance company happy? :-)) I'd bet it'll be some where
between 100 and 200 hours for single pilot.


Are you sure?

Wow.

I know I would be WAY over my head, when just the insurance could be more
than HALF of my gross yearly income.

Wow!
