Despite growing up in a family of aviators and my parents owning enough planes I've lost count, I don't actually know this: Is plane insurance required by law? Are there different categories (liability/collision) like with car insurance? Obviously as a financial matter you'd need insurance for such a costly and risky item anyway but I have no idea what the legal requirements are.

Are there different categories (liability/collision) like with car insurance? In the US, there's not a universal requirement for airplane insurance, but quite a few states require it, and some places can require it for renting a long-term tiedown or hangar space from them. Many people do insure airplanes (since you're probably not getting financing without insurance), and there's policies that just cover damage to the airplane, as well as ones that provide liability coverage if you crash into a school bus full of blind gay orphans or something. When I instructed, I carried a personal liability policy as well as a renters insurance policy, since most aircraft insurance has deductibles in the four figure range. azflyboy fucked around with this message at 12:36 on Jul 18, 2020 |

I edited my post to clarify that may only be some long term rentals. I've worked at and flown into places that required some kind of insurance to get a long term tiedown or hangar spot, but that may have just been down to requirements from the FBO or airport authority to reduce their liability.

Hey, speaking of floatplanes, you know what's not a floatplane?quote:Investigators have determined that a Royal Air Maroc Express ATR 72-600 twice struck the surface of the Mediterranean Sea during an extraordinary botched approach to Al Hoceima airport, badly damaging the turboprop before its crew diverted to Nador. quote:But Moroccan investigation authority BEA also found the ground-proximity warning system had issued ‘terrain’ and ‘pull up’ alerts during the crew’s previous approach to the same airport. https://www.flightglobal.com/safety/atr-72-struck-sea-surface-after-crew-turned-off-ground-proximity-system/139264.article What is this I don't even

The NTSB just had a file dump of stuff related to the Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Citation crash last Summer and uhh...(summary from an A.net poster)quote:What's disturbing to about the N8JR crash was the lack of professionalism by the pilots: 1) They didn't bother to file a flight plan (even a VFR flight plan). 2) Assumed they could "see and avoid" encountered traffic in a high-performance aircraft without ATC help (at least VFR flight following). This added to their workload and distracted them during the approach. 3) There was no approach briefing, they just dove down from their cruise altitude and started looking for an airport which they were only vaguely familiar with. 4) No landing checklist callout was heard. 5) Wind conditions (basically calm) would have allowed for landing on RWY 6, which doesn't have as much terrain in the approach course and a long displaced landing threshold. RWY 6 also has a published, RNAV approach. 6) They knew they were going too fast, they also had 2 terrain and one descent rate alert, but they chose to continue to continue the approach anyway. 7) Poor coordination between the 2 pilots led to the PM activating the thrust reversers on the mains contact, while the PF was unaware and attempted a go-around after the second bounce with the thrust reversers still activated. https://dms.ntsb.gov/pubdms/search/hitlist.cfm?docketID=64015&CurrentPage=1&EndRow=15&StartRow=1&order=1&sort=0&TXTSEARCHT=

This is why standardization and SOPs are so important. I cringe everytime I hear a story of a Part 91 flight department where every pilot has their own methods.

So, I now belong to a very small subset of pilots that are furloughed but actually managed to secure a flying job (that isn't instructing!) Just signed the paperwork to work for a Canadian ACMI airline that does work for the UN in Africa and the Middle East in a CRJ200. I'm a tad shy on Total Time to go in as a Captain immediately, but I'm doing a PIC ride and Indoc and flying one or two rotations from the right seat and then taking the left - a scheme I'm totally onboard with, I mean, I know the RJ and am comfortable flying it into any mega-airport, but it will be nice to have some mentorship on the whole 'Africa' aspect of flying in Africa. Oh and the danger pay is pretty sweet. This is going to be an adventure

Today I brought my baby home!!! New panel photos.  Americana. Check out the crops in the background.  Today was a great day to figure out where the NEXRAD button was on the 650.  Now I’m not using my iPad anymore to file /G! Really happy with everything. Glad I went 650 and the G5’s. I know some other options exist but this was the right choice for me! GFC 500 is next (year).

Animal posted:If it was bribery I wonder how much jail time he’ll serve I stand corrected on my earlier post. The DPE who forced a bunch of checkride redos in the southwest was basically just rubber stamping people and kind of inventing his own standards. There were examiners who were passing way too many people for the foreign pilot mills, but since they were essentially only examining foreign students, the FSDO simply pulled their credentials and kept it quiet, since trying to retest certificates of people in foreign countries is a bit problematic.
