Low hour Pilot wants to move up to Piper Malibu Mirage but having trouble finding insurance I am a 350 hour instrument rated pilot and current. I own and fly a Piper Saratoga II TC and I am rated for complex, high performance, retractable wheel airplanes. I have approximately 150 hours in the PA 32. Current age 59.
I want to move up to a FIKI factory installed airplane and have been mentored that perhaps the PA 46 Piper Malibu Mirage would be a great next step.
Having issues with companies willing to insure me even though my Saratoga has similar systems just not quite as fast. Any suggestions from anyone on what I can do except fly more hours to get insurance?
You won't be able to get around the time-in-type requirement for insurance. That's pretty much a set-in-stone requirement, especially for a high performance aircraft like the Mirage. I suggest that while you build the hours you fly with someone who meets the requirements for insurance.
