The International Cessna 170 Association

My broker called today and told my my policy was up for renewal in 8 days. Not much notice. New guy.
170B. 85k hull. 1 million liability. $2300, which is about the same as last year. I am an ATP with lots of tailwheel time. My son is the issue: PP, instrument, 300 TT with 110 in the 170 and 220 tw. Any opinions on whether this pricing is reasonable?

On a separate note they will not insure him at all in my Bonanza, even though he has 60 hours of pic in it. Not even for dual only. How exactly does a person get a commercial rating, which requires 10 hours of complex time, if they won’t write coverage for the dual? I told them to cancel the hull coverage on the Bonanza since it won’t do me any good. I’ll be damned if I’m going to rent another airplane for 10 hours when I own one.

The commercial requires 10 hours of complex or "technically advanced airplane". Been that way for 5 years or so. The flight schools pushed it through because they wanted to be done with retracts. So now you can go zero->CFI in the same G1000 172.

Have you shopped around..?? The amount on the 170 sounds reasonable …but getting him insured in the Bonanza shouldn’t be such an issue.

Got my quote for renewal today. Actually went down this year, a whole $6.
