Y'All,
I am the only instructor at my FBO who has enough to make it worth
while to carry insurance. There are few if any law suits against
instructors because lawyers go after the money.


That is true of youngsters who instruct. But, we retired pilots with
some fair amount of assets are quite attractive to lawyers.

I wouldn't think of instructing in my circumstances unless I was covered
by a $10 million instructor liability policy. That ain't likely to
happen. ;-)

It is unfortunate that our tort system has taken most of the very
experienced instructors off the market, but that is the reality today.
