There are liability issues if the instuctor screws up that your carrier
might choose to try and subrogate. More likely though they just want to rent
airplanes.

Find a new instructor.

Now that I am an aircraft owner I wanted to do some training in my
aircraft before I take it up into IMC. I have been doing the typical VFR
types of drills on my own, stalls, slow flight TO/landings, I even shot
some approaches in VFR but not under the hood to make sure all the gizmos
worked. Now I want to be under the hood with a CFII to do some approaches,
holds, DME arc, and unusual attitudes. I contacted a local flight school
to set up an appointment time with an instructor. All was fine until they
asked which of their planes I would be in. I told them I would be in my
own plane and that was the point of all of this. They stated they did not
do any training, BFRs, or IPCs in a non-school aircraft as their insurance
would not cover them.

Since I am the PIC and it is my airplane is it not my insurance that
covers the flight? has anyone else run into this before?
