Just got the new quotation from our insurance.
We have taken on a new pilot/instructor with about 430 hours on H300, R22 and R44.
In order for him to fly our 206L we need:
Type rating (obviously)
10 hours safety pilot after TR
Safety pilot needs 500h TT, 500 turbine, 250 on type(that would be 206L, not just 206).
Until the new hire has at least 50 hours on type we have to take the double deductible/retention/excess in case he breaks it.
With these conditions there is no increase in premium.
