Cessna 210 Insurance Mins

I just wondered what experience any of you have had regarding insurance mins for flying PIC in a CE210. Thanks!
 
I know its not a C210 but, when I first started flying a C182 the insurance company wanted me to have 15 hours PIC in the aircraft, all of which had to be solo, before I could carry passengers for insurance purposes, along with a high performance endorsement. At that time I was only a private pilot. I was recently added to an insurance policy for a C177 and they did not require any time at all because of the fact that I had my CFI, they just asked that I be current in the aircraft. So 3 tol's. I would imagine they wouldn't be looking for much time in type depending on your complex and high performance time. I'm not sure if this is any help but its my 2 cents.
 
varies by carrier and rental location. If I were the one renting it, you wouldn't touch the 210 with fewer than 500 TT + 100 RG + Instrument + Commercial, maybe more depending on what deductibles I had, etc.
 
I'm at 1200TT with 190 Retract. This is for a potential new employer who wants me to fly a 210 they are planning on purchasing. I just want to get a feel for what to expect. I'm a CFI, working aerial mapping at the moment.

I do not see an issue with your time, and we fly a C210 Turbo. However, in our case the insurance company wants us to be IFR current, probably not an issue for you either. We're not exactly inexperienced either, and my partner is an 8000 hr ATP. I have about 1600 with IFR and MEL.

C210s are not cheap to insure regardless, but based on what you have said about yourself I see no issue.

It's not a hard plane to fly but, sadly, a lot of pilots have managed to make it seem like one.
 
My old employer required 6 hours of type-specific training, and an instrument/commercial.

Oh, and part 135 minimums. And a part 135 checkride.
 
We don't fly 210s but our insurance on the 206s require 500TT and 15hrs in make and model. I don't think you should have a problem with your times.
 
My insurance requires at least instrument and 25 make and model. I don't think you should have any problems. I also have a T210M for sale 175K

Wow. Good luck with finding renters. There is meeting standards, then there is this. 500TT, yeah. 100RG, sure. Inst., mabey. Commercial, just to fly an airplane.

Circumvent the deductible's by requireing the renter to carry insurance. It's a C-210, not a CRJ. And airlines used to let you fly with 250TT. Simple systems, not too fast, easy to fly. I am all for CYA, but there is a point where it becomes excessive.

I hated the 60 day currency in make/model where I did my PPL. Oh, you've only flown a 172 in the last 60 days? You need to go up with a CFI in the 152 (who only has 1 hour in it himself...)

1 year currency is more the norm here in FL. Which is fine with me, it is a big deal if you fly from a lot of different fields...

That's probably why there aren't too many 300hp singles for rent. We were looking at adding an SR22 and that was about what the FBOs insurance would have wanted for renters (minus the comm) to make it possible. Really narrows down the field of potential renters, so we're sticking with a 20 for now.
I don't think the IR is out of bounds really, you use something like this to go places, and from the FBOs standpoint it would be bad to be losing money while a VFR pilot waits it out for a week to get home.
I don't see the OP having any issues - usually 1000TT/250 retract seems standard for open pilot, and if you're a named insured you should have no issues after a quick transition. There's probably a JCer with plenty of 210 time nearby willing to help out.

There are measures you can put in place to help this issue. The bottom line is, most insurance companies won't touch a 300hp single that is for rent, save for some of the new fixed gear -22's and -400's. If someone gear ups a 210, you can almost assume that it will be a total loss(and insurance companies hate total losses).
