When I got my plane 10 years ago, I had a Commercial licence, with around 500 hours. It was parked outside, on the grass, and insured for a little less than $20K. Insurance ran about $500.

Now I'm an ATP, I fly 747s for a living. I've got a couple thousand hours and the airplane is in a hangar. It's insured for a little over $20K for around ................... $500.



The Cessna 150 was designed for student pilots. It's easy to fly, and relatively inexpensive. If you put a brand new Private Pilot in a Bonanza the cost will be thru the roof and will decrease with experience and ratings. The 150, not so much.
