I've seen people quoted up to $18K for one year for an SR22 (non-turbo). This was a new 70 hour Private Pilot, with ZERO time in type/model of aircraft being insured. No instrument rating and no Cirrus Transition Course. Most places that rent the SR22T require instrument rating with 200+ hours...

I figured around $5k for the SR22 non turbo version. I thought a maximum of $10K would be reasonable for the turbo since its faster and insurance companies might be more careful with insuring.

But they would most likely offer insurance? Just for a really high price then.

Just curious, would an insurance company offer insurance on a Cirrus SR22T to a Private Pilot assuming they have 100 hours total time, 10 hours in an SR22T, and a completed Cirrus Transition Course (with high performance endorsement)? I know typically insurance company's would like to ideally...

Does anyone know how to do multiple top of climbs and multiple top of descents on Foreflight? This is important for flying over/under a Class Bravo. I know I can assign an altitude to a waypoint but it doesn't actually recalculate fuel or speeds under the Navigation Log. I also don't have the...

That is really interesting about Ground Metering. It is the first time I've heard of that. On a completely unrelated note, is it possible to bypass Chicago Approach and go straight to Chicago Tower when landing? Essentially, fly under the busy Bravo airspace and fly near the Class Bravo...

So I’m curious on this. Did you have to contact Chicago O Hare Clearance Delivery before leaving the FBO? This is to request a VFR clearance to your destination. Or did you just simply contact ground control? @Jim K

Got my question answered from AOPA. My medical first and second class privileges were extended.

I'm under 40 years old. I just thought the FAA was basically saying "hey, if you had a first class medical and it expired, we will still grant you first class privileges". My medical for First Class priviledges expires on March 31st, 2020. So I should meet the criteria for the FAA extension. Of...

I have a question on the medical. If I had a First Class that I received on March 4, 2019, and now its been over 12 calendar months, does this mean I am still able to use first class privileges? The AOPA flow chart suggests that I can still use first class privileges...

I looked over the chart some more and I know what to do now. Once I got that it was magnetic course and to reference the Chart Supplement based on the course and altitude I know who to contact. Of course, if you contact the wrong person they will give you the correct frequency, but it saves the...

And this essentially answered all my questions. Thanks for the link.

Yes, I've looked over it multiple times. If I were to actually fly it, I would just ask ATC for radar vectors.

Based in Chandler. Trained at Riddle up in Prescott, then switched to Scottsdale when our flightline closed. Flying the C172 G1000.

Thank you. Everyone has been so amazingly helpful. I also chose a random altitude so 7,500 would not work. Would you happen to know where I could find these sector maps? I know the sectional chart has the frequencies based on the magnetic courses, but I want to see exactly where visually the...
