We just read into the regs a bit deeper. I was always under the impression
you had to have 100 hours in category and class and if it was a tail wheel
you had to have 1000 hours in that. I actually read the reg and it looks as
though it's only 100 hours of category and class. So I know if the regs
aren't holding us to 100 hours in a tail wheel then the insurance must be, I
assume. How would the insurance work out on the club gliders if the towpilot
wasn't covered under the club insurance policy, but rather carried non-owned
insurance? Would there be a problem if the pilot was towing gliders, since
most people that carry their own insurance are only flying planes, not
towing them as well?


Reply:
Requirements are pretty much dictated by the insurance company. They
are the ones backing the risk so they set requirements to manage that
risk. Typical policy requires 500 in airplanes, 100 in conventional
gear to tow without specific endorsement. SSA program will insure at
lower levels after review of pilot experience and at a reasonable added
premium.
Contact Sue Fasset at Costello and she can help you understand this
stuff. She is a big help.
Good Luck UH
