    I agree with DAT, the EAA (FDalcon) insurance was the best deal for me after shopping around. I am a new Sport pilot flying an E/AB SS7 taildragger, so I did not find too many companies willing to deal with me.

    I use http://www.nationair.com as a broker and they placed me with Global last time I renewed.

    Get ready to get out the big checkbook. I just renewed with Falcon. (They were the cheapest) $1487 for full coverage with 28 k hull. Ouch! I have about 150 hours total with about 100 in tailwheel. I was told that 250 hours is the magic number to get a little cheaper insurance.

    That is so true in many aspects of life!




    Yes. It is for Sport pilot license. She said a private certificate would lower it slightly. I think "slightly" is insurance lingo for $4.99. I am going to go ahead and get my private ticket anyway because every little bit helps.
