Check with the German pilots flying their German "D" registered
gliders with the White Sands Soaring Association in Alamogordo, NM.
They must have solved the problem.


Hi glider,
the short answer is: No!
If your glider is registered in Germany, no US insurance company will
write you a policy. I had buy a policy in Germany for my D-registered
Libelle. Some carriers offer policies for this situation. It may be
much less expensive to register the glider in the US - if your
immigration status allows you to do that; you have to be a permanent
resident alien - and then re-register it in Germany, if/when you
return.
