Yes, most life insurance companies class this as a dangerous sport. The CIS wanted to load my life insurance for my mortgage by about 300%, and most other insurance companies are the same. However, I found a broker on the South Coast that has negotiated with Legal and Genital and has managed to persuade them that the car journey to the airfield is more dangerous (which it is). Therefore, through these guys, I got a good deal. I can't remember the name of them now, but they do advertise in all the pilot mags, give them a ring. And a word of warning for everyone else. Most companies will not bother about the odd trial lesson, but if you are a ppl at whatever stage beware, your life insurance might not be valid in a crash!!
And along with everyone else here, congratulation BJ on your first solo. I'll let you into a little secret, those that say the smile wears off in a couple of weeks are lying. I did mine over 2 years ago, and I still smile about it now. The certificate is hung on my office wall for all to see!!!
