Hi Bud,
As you know, there is a lot more hassle associated with flying here in Europe
than
in the US: higher fuel cost, landing fees, and a lot of other factors. But
regarding insurance it is a lot easier and cheaper here, at least in France:
- we can get insurance for a Monowheel Europa without any requirement for dual
nor prior experience in type. The premium for liability is the same as for any
two seater. Number of seats and number of authorized pilots are the only
parameters.
For hull insurance, the declared value is the only factor.
- there is no formal BFR here but only a requirement to fly one hour with a CFI
on board every two years. But I can fly this hour in a Cessna or any type of
single engine plane.
If I want to do it in my monowheel, I can do it with any instructor who accept
to seat in my airplane. He does not have to be experienced in the Monowheel.
I did not want to miss this occasion to point out that it is not always worse
here!
Best regards
Remi Guerner
