bhassel · #1 10-11-2009, 08:37 PM

What type of requirements are being requested for the pilot's of the RV10's (hours, ratings, etc)? I am a low time pilot but the 10 fits our needs.

Thanks,

Bob

I had about 600 hours...150/172/182. They required 5 hours of dual with Mike.

I had about 200 hours and had to do 5 hours wih Alex. I had about 100 hours in a Tiger so transition wasn't to difficult.

I have around 600 hours , mostly in a C 177. I bought a RV 10 and had to have 5 hours of dual. Got $180,000 coverage for around $1500 per year.

Please let me know how you are insured through that is really cheap.
Thanks

That is really cheap! I have over 17,000 hours and have just renewed my insurance after the first year. I got $200K hull insurance and a discount for Technologically Advanced aircraft, and came in at $2900 through AIG. I have about 2000 hours of single engine time and now have about 160 hours of RV-10 time. I was required to get five hours of dual when initially insuring the aircraft last year. I got mine from Alex D. in Dallas. Great experience! Got to meet DR as a bonus, too!!

I would be very interested to know who you used for insurance. That is a fantastic price!

Bob,
The main insurance companies that write the RV-10's want to see at least 250 Total hours. AIG/Chartis Insurance will want you to get around 5 hours of dual with Mike Seager or Alex DeDominicis, while Global will require 5 hours but with any CFI that they approve.

Hope this helps

Thanks all - looks like I'll need to build more hours or pay more. I was planning on doing that anyway just to get current and feel comfortable.

Avemco wanted 10 hours in type - dual or solo - before extending any cover on my RV6. Also hull coverage wasn't available for first ten hours and/or first ten full stop landings.

Also also - occupant, i.e. sole test pilot cover wasn't included for all of Phase 1.

Here is a thought......

Demand the same deal the others get, with a higher excess until your hours exceed 250 ... or some other similar plan.

Some 20,000 hour pilots (and some very good airline guys) have pranged small singles just like the 100 hour pilot.........

Do not be bullied by insurance companies!
