One reason I have an experimental airplane is because of the increased freedom that I am allowed in it's operation. I don't need more formalized limitations. I have zero interest in going to my insurance company and telling them that I don't think the limitations they have already put on my airplane operations are strict enough and I'm going to increase the limitations, in writing. At the same time, if that is what makes it work for you, more power to you, for you. I don't need a book to tell me to not fly in known icing conditions, or not to joust with Thor, or to try and see how far I can stretch the fuel. Lynn Farnsworth Super Legacy L2K-235 TSIO-550 Race #44 " Safety is a culture I learned (lived, breathed, had crammed down my throat) during a 20-year USAF career -- sometimes it drives my wife crazy! Another big advantage (in my opinion) is a formalized set of rules. Many decisions (of the type that seem to get our Lancair bretheren in trouble) are already made for the pros. Weather conditions and equipment requirements are clearly defined in company flight manuals. I've often wondered if a mutually beneficial "deal" can be made with insurers that would allow reduced insurance rates for those who commit to formalized sim training. Make your insurability contingent on successful completion of training. The pros do it, why can't we? And while it may be true the training might cost us more than the insurance, no one can argue the relative values."
