Commercial License, Instrument rating and Insurance rates

Post by nickorette »

What kind of difference would a low-time pilot see in their insurance rates if they went from a PPL to a Commercial license? What about an instrument rating? Both?

Lets use a Piper Arrow with Liability insurance as one example, and a PA-47 Piper Jet as a second example.

I know there are a million and one variables, but lets just talk generalizations

Insurance adjusters normally offer a huge discount to instrument rated pilots. Fixed gear planes are also cheaper, err less expensive than retracts.

As far as PPL v CPL there was zero cost savings for my quotes.
