Question for insurance experts -

Insurance for the Columbia 400 is absurdly high compared to other
similar aircraft, presumably because the premiums are loaded due to
lack of significant statistics.

What have you been quoted, and by whom?

Any idea how long potential Columbia
buyers can expect to wait for the premium to stabilize?

Considering that the 400 has been on the market now for four years or more,
and has about 800 in the field, and has had three accidents (all CFIT), it
seems someone seeling is making lame excuses.

Can anyone recommend an insurance provider who would be willing to
discount infrequent flying, like someone who would only need to carry
insurance Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?

Nope. AAMOF, as a infrequent flyer, you're going to pay more. MUCH more.
Particularly with a high performance aircraft.

Have 3000+ hours, an IR, and fly 300+ hours a year and your rate will go WAY
down.
