Think about it, in a plane your flying for a passion, in a car you're
driving to get somewhere. That's one reason accidents happen. Another, in a
plane we are thoroughly, very thoroughly trained, as to in a car you receive
just 3 or 4 hours of formal driving training. Scary aint it.

I think it's a question you should be asking your insurance agent. Just

to
get
some idea of the costs. If it's going to triple your insurance, you

might
want
to break the news gently (or postpone it as long as possible?).


Mary already did. It will cost less to insure him in the plane than it

will
in the car -- believe it or not.

Actually, I had a driving instructor who was telling us the opposite.
It was something like 36 hours in the car for driving school way back
when I "learned to drive". I had already been driving a lot with my
parents.

In that light, assuming it is still the same, it may be less time to
get a sport pilot certificate depending on the individual.

You have to ride a motorcycle to find out how many are really
out to get you.
