Insurance requirements out of hand? - AOPA high perf retractable for Flying Clubs
Just a question to see if this is typical. Evidently the only agency now
willing to insure Flying Club high performance retractables is AOPA. Its great they are stepping up to help AOPA members, we have a 210 and Avemco has left the market. However the new policy in effect for our club will be 250TT (good - it used to be 350), 50 hours retractable, 25 in type. Is this typical for other clubs with AOPA? Who is going to be willing to pay for 25 hours with an instructor? Remember this is a flying club where members supposedly are able to move up to planes as they gain experience. That is a lot of money and time to haul an instructor around if you were able to get Bonanza or other comparable time. Even 25 hours dual is not enough if that is the only retractable time. Then a potential student is looking at 50 hours dual with an instructor or else find a club with an Arrow I guess. Did the high performance airplane just receive a death sentence for clubs? Ron |
