Anyone know home much it would cost to insure a private airport? I know
some people with private fields on the sectional "No landings without prior
permission of owner" and they will tell you that it's open to all their
friends, but they don't have any insurance. I'm thinking that they are
really leaving themselves open to lawsuits if someone gets hurt due to a
rough landing (or worse). I also notice that more than a few private fields
are for sale, and I'm wondering if this is one of the reasons why.

I know of at least one state that has put a law on the books that
basically limits the owners liability if they open the airport to the
public. As I understand it this has really helped with insurance
premiums for public airports. Perhaps other states have simlar rules
