    From: Rob Kochman <rv10rob@gmail.com>
    Time to renew the insurance again, and I'm thinking I'm overinsured at $200k coverage. My RV-10 is a year old, has 110 hours TT on a new Aerosport IO-540, new Hartzell blended airfoil prop. Everything is pretty standard. No paint yet, but will be getting it painted this year. Panel has a couple Dynons, non-WAAS GNS430, and a Garmin 696 (picture here: http://kochman.net/N819K/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/panel_sm.jpg). What do you think? Thanks in advance for the input. -Rob -- Rob Kochman RV-10 Flying since March 2011 Woodinville, WA http://kochman.net/N819K

    Robert's point is spot on. You can check out Barnstormer's for RV-10s for sale, but the prices typically run $200K+/- about $20K, although there is one out there for only $139,000 right now. When I first applied for insurance in 2007 I don't think I could talk the folks out of more than $145K which I figured I could rebuild the airplane by not go buy a new one if needed (of course now you'd have to hire a mechanic for annuals, etc). It would be curious what you find in rates for varying amounts of insurance. If it's not too bad, I'd stick with what you have. I had a hull loss in the past and the insurance suddenly becomes very cheap when faced with that event.

    I guess it depends on what you are paying for the insurance too... My insur ance company would only insure a -10 to $175k, but I'm 'only' paying $1680/y r this year. I was good with the coverage vs cost ratio. I have dual 10" S kyViews in the panel.

    Shoot - I just wrote a check for almost twice that for mine but first flight not yet done and I opted for full coverage for the test period. Where did you get your insurance? Jenny at Nation Air told me next year wil l be cheaper but nothing as low as you list.

    Like any class B airspace, they talk fast and at times can be pretty busy in the Newark/La Guardia and Kennedy airspace which extends down to Philadelphia. Linden is very close to EWR and right at the floor of 800ft for traffic, departing the liners make a turn after departures so that will not be an issue but if the winds favor the arrivals north the ILS expect the vectors and approach landing to the east. Good thing is listen to Live ATC for Newark Approach a while and you'll pick up the way thy communicate. -----Original Message----- From: David Leikam Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2012 1:01 PM Subject: RV10-List: Flight into NY airspace.

    I have several trips from Virginia to Connecticut and each time did VFR over JFK at 7500' or 8500' with flight following. The controllers always handed me just like the big boys, and let me penetrate Class B on the let down (north side of the Class B). As Tim says, do the Hudson. North to south is my preference. You fly the plane and watch out for the helos - let the passengers take the photos.

    Thanks, guys... for the record, here's what I've paid so far (private/IFR w/ 320 hours TT). >From the first flight: $4572 Just after phase 1 complete: $4035 Now (110 hours in type): $3389 Note this time I can get a policy for $2980, though it has a deductable and doesn't have the "minor" benefits that my current Starr policy has (e.g. search & rescue coverage). This is all through Jenny at NationAir. -Rob On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 1:27 PM, Carl Froehlich <carl.froehlich@verizon.net>wrote: > Shoot - I just wrote a check for almost twice that for mine but first > flight not yet done and I opted for full coverage for the test period. > > Where did you get your insurance?

    Tim's advice is spot on. Fly it one way then turn around and go the other way. Short flight and your passengers can get some great pics. I didn't circle the statue but wish I would have. If the corridor is still 1000-1300' you are plenty low for pictures as well as just looking. Don't miss it. Albert Gardner N991RV Yuma, AZ

    Yeah, if I do it again, I'm going both directions and returning to the airport where I started or at least the area where I started. It was an awesome trip that went by too fast...and it's one of the things I want to fly again before we can't. You have to do things now, because it will only get more restrictive. I'm not sure what the status is today, but I know things are changing for Grand Canyon too...and that's another one you just don't want to miss the boat on.

    Thanks everyone. I will try to make time to fly the Hudson. We will be arriving around 9pm EDT and then spending several days in the city. This is the first of many trips out there so It will happen. Dave leikam On May 3, 2012, at 3:01 PM, David Leikam wrote: > > I am planning to fly into KLDJ (Linden NJ) in a couple weeks.

    Good lunch or breakfast at Temple Bar U30 (they'll pick you up), Grand Canyon West 1G4 is right on the South Rim of the canyon, Lake Mead to the west is flyable at low levels. Afternoon convective activity over the canyon area. Beautiful area to fly over. Monument Valley UT25 and Goulding's Lodge is 120 miles NE of Grand Canyon National Park GNC. Winslow INW and the meteor crater is 90 miles SE of GNC. Albert Gardner N991RV Yuma, AZ

    re: Grand Canyon: I cannot say it enough, skip GCN (Grand Canyon Airport). It is expensive, 100LL very expensive, not at all GA friendly. It caters to the tour operators. Instead go to Valle (40G), 25 miles or so south of GCN. Very GA friendly, reasonable gas prices. If you want to tour the park on the ground the FBO has a couple of reasonably priced rental cars (reserve in advance). There is an adequate motel/restaurant within walking distance of the airport. The airport density altitude can be high, but no problem for an RV as long as you're under gross. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=372372#372372

    As others have hit upon, what would you want to do if you had a total loss? New QB kit, new certified engine and a Stein or Aerotronics built panel is going to put you over $150K plus interior plus paint. Vs buying one someone else built to unknown standards with their choice of equipment. Price of equivalent aircraft built by someone else will drive your coverage if you don't want to take a year or two to build a replacement.

    Subject: Flight into NY airspace.
    We spent a week in NYC after landing at Westchester Co. HPN, tied down at Panorama where they treated us well and took us over to White Plains to catch the Metro North line for a fast trip down to the city. Fly SW 12 miles to enter the Skyline Route at Alpine Tower for a flight down the Hudson. First Flight FFA at Kill Devil Hills is 300 miles south. Just a suggestion. :^) Albert Gardner N991RV Yuma, AZ

    From: "Bob Turner" <bobturner@alum.rpi.edu>
    Garmin has had a virtual monopoly on the IFR certified GPS market ever since they were allowed to buy UPS (Apollo) Avionics. GRT has just announced their latest EFIS, the HXr. But I think the real news is that GRT is also offering a remote IFR certified GPS, for less than a G-400. At last, some competition for Garmin! -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=372382#372382
