GOOD INSURANCE NEWS

After seeing numerous articles in Aviation Consumer about the insurance debacle, I thought I’d share my experience. Seems I’m in the minority here in that my rates have actually gone down over the two years I’ve had my Beech Baron twin.  

I’m in the mid-50s age group. Last year, my rate dropped about 20 percent and this year it was down another 10 percent, even though I increased the hull value. I didn’t fly much this year due to the plane being down for five months for an EFIS upgrade, but I do try to get an IPC done every six months since we don’t have a lot of IMC days here in the New Mexico desert. Besides, there’s always something to learn to improve instrument skills with regular checks like that.
