Here in Montana the legislature this year ammended an existing law that
now says an owner of a private airport cannot be sued if a pilot crashes
on this private airport. As long as it is a non commercial aircraft
operation the airport owner is untouchable. Now the airport owner no
longer has to have you sign a release in advance to protect himself.



I tried Yahoo and Google and couldn't find the law you mention. Any
change you know the name or number of it?


Yes, it was Senate Bill 318. Here's a blurb from the Montana Pilots Assoc
website. The Governor signed the bill inot law on April 30th.

Thanks. I've going to bring this issue up to the Washington Pilots
Association.
