That is NOT true. If you're insured, you're insured.

This does not appear to be the case with aircraft insurance. Rather,
it seems that every time you go up, you are warranteeing (warranting?)
that everything is in order. And if the insurance company can prove
that something was NOT in order, then ba-bing! it will disclaim any
responsibility.

I'm not even sure it's the case with automobile insurance, though to
be sure I've always gotten a fair shake from mine. People who insure
with the cut-rate companies (Giego, Allstate, Progressive) sometimes
have a different experience.


Automobile insurance has to cover the claim no matter what. (at least in
california) Its the law.
Airplane insurance is different. A buddy of mine was asked how many hours he
had he guessed at the number, he hit the gear up switch instead of the flap
switch in a 55 Barron I watched both props hit. The insurance company asked
to see the hours and he came up short. They did not cover the claim so he
went and saw a lawyler he basicaly said your screwed.
