Pre-takeoff checklist
Hi,
I'm about to start working on my IFR ticket and have a few insurance questions:
1. If I'm always flying with a CFII, do I need to worry about insurance? He is also the FBO's instructor.
Who is going to take the blame in case something happens, its not like he is the PIC, so how does it work?
2. I noticed that in the AOPA PLATINUM Renter's Insurance they offer up to $10,000 for "Protection against claims for damage to the non-owned aircraft, including its loss of use".
I'm a named pilot on my old instructors insurance plan, and we are covered for $35,000 for aircraft damages.
I'm trying to figure if 10k is enough, since from what I read here - some FBOs can come after me - depend on their insurance.
What do you say?
