Broken down and your favorite mechanic is flying in to do repairs, be prepared to show proof of insurance for the mechanic.
I had a Malibu customer with a dead starter at Austin AUS on 4-24. We flew down in a Jetprop on 4-25 with a new starter and tools, nobody there had any parts. After arrival the counter help at Atlantic informs me that I need proof of insurance to work on their ramp. She tells me that someone at HUT on Sun. morning could just fax them the info (sure). I can't do the work at the Signature ramp either, none of their (on call) mechanics will answer their phones. My insurance people wont answer the phone too.
I decide that I will just prop start it and come on home and do the work. When I tell the counter help what I was doing she just says "fine, have a good trip". I guess they don't have any liability problems with prop starts.
The engine starts nicely and we flew home. We send mechanics out across the country and never been asked by FBOs for proof, from now on we will carry insurance info too.
