Insurance
I got that stupid cover letter again from Skysmith that says "Anyone receiving any dual/instruction in the insured aircraft must be a named pilot AND THE CFI MUST MEET THE OPW." No instructor I have anywhere in this part of the country meets the OPW and that's an asinine statement to make. I complained about it but he is just stonewalling on the issue.
I've called them twice in the last 2 years and they always claim - verbally, on the phone, which is worthless - that it doesn't mean I'm not covered when I get BFR or IFR competency dual, but it's a dumb statement and it leaves us open to lawyers' claws should anything happen in those regularly-recurring circumstances. Scott seems more interested in covering his hiney than in looking after his customers. I'm wondering if anyone else can recommend and insurance agent or company that would be comparable to what we're getting from him. I have hull coverage of $100,000 plus the usual 1 million liability, etc., and I pay $2685. Anyone have something comparable they can suggest?

One word of advice...AVEMCO. They don't play the shadey insurance company role...totally up front and full coverage with no deductables for a gear up landing. Call them, they're the only direct underwriter of aviation insurance...everyone else is just a middleman.

I called Avemco and their quote was $1500 over what I'm paying now. I appreciate the suggestion, but that one didn't pan out very well.

Got a letter in the mail today from a Insurance Company in Kansas City. You should all be receiving one through the FAA list he used. Call 877-353-1047, Carl Grimmett, his letter says he is very competitive.
My OPW states: current and valid FAA certificate, 750 total, 250 multi, 25 type, IFR.
