I just bought a P baron in August. Have 700ish total time. 600 retractable. Got my MEI and insurance was $5500 per year. Said it would go down year 2 after 50 hours. Love the plane so far. Leaving for steamboat in the morning. Username Protected wrote: Hi Jefferey. Welcome to the forum. While I am of not help in the P Baron arena, I can tell you that a P Baron is on my radar and I would be interested in hearing more about your story. Such as, your twin rating. You got that in October? Where did you do that? What kind of aircraft? Did you sell your 182 already or did you take the MEI course and rating while traveling around in the 182. Secondly, and this is something you might not want to answer but as a newer pilot myself, this will be critical. Insurance. Were you able to get it on the P Baron? Maybe not since you have not closed yet. So have you shopped? What is it like? I am a 325 hours Insturment rated single engine pilot. No twin and no retract gear time. I have considered going on ahead and getting my MEI rating....but then again, no clue where to do that etc. Anyways, congrats! Feel free to share how you got to this point...buying a P baron.
Today we had a long 4.5 hour grind from Disney to KY and a nice roomy back seat of rite wife and kiddo to sack out in would have been great....

Thanks for sharing...That is NOT a financial barrier! But then again you have way more time in retracts than I do. Come on over to KY and give me a ride! I need to see what these are all about!
