I wanted to partner with a non-instrument rated pilot in my
Mooney and the broker almost laughed.
Why?

Ok, I'll take a guess. You can run into a lot more weather at 200knots
than 110knots in a C172???

The point is, that's a good theory, but it's not borne out by the numbers.

Mary and I can get insurance in a Mooney tomorrow (with ~10 hours training,
due to our lack of complex time), for not a lot more than we're paying now,
and we're both VFR pilots.
