Insurance etc

Ok the plan is to do the FAA Training, keep it on the N reg and fly it privately 100% (no iffy charters or anything ).

The insurance company are happy if we use it with a pilot untill I have got 500 hours in and that will, in my case, have been about 11 months intensive flying training and most of it on type.

Is there anything the matter with that ? I would have gone the JAA instrument route but initially the FAA route will get me flying it, Then I intend to do the CPL / for the benefit of the training and study for the ATPL even if I dont need it just to get as much knowledge and training under my belt while I am getting in all the flying time I can.

And anyone who wants to help or come up with suggestion please feel free to get in touch. No a B200 doesnt need a type rating in the states on the N reg but I intend doing a few months flying with an instructor anyway. Fool hardy I am not !!!!!
