Pilot Proficiency Program - Mooney Safety

[FlyingScot]

The PPP is an incredible program. Period. I try to do it every year. There is always something to learn, no matter how seasoned and current you are. The instructors have been fantastic, and what's not to love about talking flying and Mooney for a weekend!

> flying with an instructor who has significant Mooney experience is priceless

Amen to that.

I took the class in 2021 and I just renewed my insurance. The premium went down a little over $2,000

To be fair, I finished my instrument rating, got almost 200hrs of complex time this year, and took the MAPA training. 

I cannot imagine why anyone's insurance would go up after getting additional training....but I am not an insurance guy.

I recently talked to my insurance guy and asked about doing additional courses like this one and he said the only thing that would help my insurance go down is just more time in the plane. The training and after my IFR he even said that getting my Commercial wouldn't do anything for my premiums.

Some insurers will insist on type-specific recurrent training as a condition of insuring you,  but there is noting like a history of no damage claims with a lot of hours in the airplane (while still young ;)) to help premiums.

Exactly - if these programs prevent a claim - you have more than paid for it over and over in premiums and perhaps something much more valuable.

I'd like to attend one of these.  Fall is best for me.  How do folks learn about these?   I'll keep my eyes out.

If only there were an FAQ section….

Or a marketing and sales team at the factory…
