Hi - I am a 300+ hour private pilot who flies out of the MacDan
rental
club at Essex County. I am looking to rent or share a six seat
single
engine aircraft (Saratoga, etc) for occassional use so I can carry
more
passengers. I have been flying for eight years out of TEB and now
CDW.
Our club has a Piper Lance, and this year the insurance company has
put a
lot of restrictions on who can fly and how many people we can list on
the
policy - you've got to have 350 hours plus an instrument rating, a 10
hour
checkout, and must do a two hour ground school on gear and prop
emergencies every year, and have to put at least 15 hours on the
Lance
every year. Another club on the field is having the same problems
with
their Lance. I hear this is quite common with clubs that have 6
seater
complex aircraft. Finding a club or a FBO with a six seater
retractable
is going to be a rare thing.

I'm just waiting for the day that someone decides that "ignorant
moron" is
an ethnic group, and thus cannot be discriminated against.
