The insurance company has a stake in you the pilot operating your aircraft safely. Depending on the complexity and speed of the aircraft some time in type of aircraft restrictions may be found in the policy. Most pilots start their flying careers in these types of aircraft and may often time fly aircraft that they don’t own.
