Don't forget that insurance is only a small part of the cost of owning a
twin. Plan on spending 3 to 4 times the cost of the fuel.

Greeting to All,

I am investigating the possibility of purchasing my own plane in the next
12
months. With the soft prices on twin airplanes, they are starting to look
a
little more appealing to me than a big single. I have spent a lot of time
investigating costs associated with maintenance so I don't want to stir up
anything.

My question is.... how many hours of multi-engine time are insurance
companies looking for before they would sell you a policy for your own
twin?
If this is not to outragous, then I will probably get my ME rating and
then
rent a twin to build hours before my purchase.

If you have some information, please also include the underwriter that you
are referring to.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
