I haven't seen this touched on...

I couple of months ago I read a story (in Flying, I think), indicating that
most aviation insurance companies would not insure pilot-owned light twins,
especially if the pilot doesn't have very many multi hours.

I can't remember if the ban covered only new policies, or all policies, but
it's something you might want to look into before you go too far.

Good luck!

I would like to get my multi rating and then buy a light twin. I have done
some research (very little actualy) but it seems from what I have read and
been told that the piper aztec is a fairly easy twin to learn to fly, not
too much of a maintenance hog and is a good solid aircraft. Not to mention
that some of the older ones are not that expensive to buy.

I would use it for personal use only, kinda like a family air wagon so I
don't want to be spending oodles of money just to use it. Does anyone have
any suggestions as to the cost of using a aircraft such as this? Or would
I
be better off looking at a good 6 place single?

I kinda have this thing about twin engine planes although I also realize 2
engines = double the cost.

Thanks for your input!
