View Full Version : Am I insured?

Just checked my policy and it said a number of things about my pilot license,
but nothing specifically about not breaking FAR's. It said my pilot license
must not be suspended or revoked and that I must be current. This would include
a biannual and those 3 takeoffs and landings within the last 90 days. Can
anyone in the insurance business give us more information on coverage if we are
breaking some FAR's, knowingly or unknowingly? Does the violation have to be
*causial* to the accident?

From my days in the repair business, I know the insurance company always wanted
a copy of:
1. Last 2 pages of pilots log book.
2. Biannual indorsement.
3. Instructors sign-off in type and model.
4. Sailplane log book copy with last annual inspection.
5. Sign-off of any recent AD's.
Why do they want all the above information, if they aren't going to try and
deny the claim, if something is missing?

JJ.. I don't you need 3 take offs and landings in the last 90 days to have a
valid certificate... only to carry passengers.. you are "current" to fly
solo without those 3 every 90..

interestingly enough.. you can go a whole day short of the biannual expiring
without flying.. 2yrs plus..... go out and do 3 SOLO landings.. and then
carry a pax.. and be legal..

I don't know, I'm not a reg-thumper. Someone who knows answer that. I forgot
some more things the insurance company wants when you file a claim.

+++ Photos of damage and of N-number on ship.
+++ Aieworthiness certificate.
+++ Registration of aircraft.
Some of this info is completely justified, but I wonder about so much
information.

sorry.. that first line should read... "YOU DON'T NEED 3 take offs and
landings every 90 to fly solo"... only when carrying a pax..

I need to proof better and not be rushed on the "come to dinner" call..

In my experience, the perils of not being rushed on the "come to dinner"
call far outweigh the confusion and possible chagrin of a poorly proofed
post !!
