Unfortunately there aren't inspectors located all over the country, and SOMEONE has to pay for travel time. I don't know any businesses that can afford to pay their employees while they are sitting in a car or an airplane travelling to a site and not pass that cost along to a customer. It's probably why most folks can't afford for their doctor to make a house call... unwillingness to pay the $400 an hour while they sit in traffic. Matt -----Original Message----- From: Lancair Mailing List [mailto:lml@lancaironline.net] On Behalf Of Skip Long Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 11:43 AM To: lml@lancaironline.net Subject: [LML] Lancair inspection charges I just received a quote from Tim Wilson at Lancair for the aircraft inspections required by AIG prior to renewing my insurance policy for the Lancair IV. $2300 for the inspection that should take 1 and 1/2 days. This does not qualify as a conditional inspection. Any travel expenses are additional. Does $191 hour shop rate seem excessive? They can not do my inspection until May, after my present policy expires.
