Really going to depend a lot on your time in type. If you have none, they won't insure you in motion at all until you get 25 or more hours with someone as PIC who has 50 or more (or something like that). Funny thing: they won't give you non-motion unless you buy the in-motion. Insurers run this country. Open your wallet now, and perform a snap roll. Mine is currently 10k annually for a non-turbo at only 60k hull value. Granted, I'm still working on my 25 in type.

If you have more experience than I, try any of the big names, like Avemco.

I will chime in here as well regarding obtaining insurance with no or low time. I moved directly from a C-172 to the 337. I was unable to get coverage in that situation. I did luck out that I found a super nice CFI that actually owned a 337 and had lots of time in one. I got around the rules by listing him as a named pilot so I could be trained in my plane at a reasonable insurance cost. We trained in my plane and after I took my check ride (also in my plane) I was able to get coverage - needed 20 hours of dual to meet the insurance requirements.

I now have about 250 hours in the 337 and 60k hull value with zero deductible was quoted to me last week (renewal time) at $3400. So it does get better with time. However, whether you have 250 hours or 2,500 I dont think there is a lot more discount for the experience once you reach a certain point.

Most open pilot requirements are like 1500 hrs total, 500 hrs multi, and 50 hrs in the 337.

This is for a non-turbo, non-pressurized 337A

Tom, is that motion and non, with your fellow CFI no longer on the policy at this point?

Gary:

The boxes checked on the quote are:

1. All Risks - Ground and Flight
2. All Risks - ground only, not in motion
3. All Risks - ground, including taxi

So that about covers everything in my mind.

I would also like to confirm one of the previous replies about not being able to get non-motion without in-motion. Last year I needed to rebuild the front engine and it was going to take most of the year. I tried to reduce the coverage to non-motion only and hit a brick wall.........

And yes, I no longer have any named pilots on the policy other than myself.

I use a broker (US Aircraft Finance) but also got the same exact quote from going through the AOPA insurance application process.

Thanks Tom

You're giving me hope that there aren't all that many hours ahead of me to a much more reasonable premium. 10,000 is just about breaking me ... Well okay, on top of a new engine, completely rebuilt brake hydraulics, new cowl actuator...

This first annual has run about 4 and 1/2 years so far.
