Or your buddy is right depending on the FBO. Several of the FBO's
around here have all pilots an open named so the insurance company is
obligated to defend them against any legal action.


So, are you saying that the FBO's insurance policy in these cases will
protect the pilot or pilot's estate from a $1 mil lawsuit brought against him
by the families of the children on that school bus who were killed when the
aircraft struck the bus? (for some reason this was always the example given
to me by my mentor instructor)


Yes.


Impressive. Those are some caring FBOs.

The ones around these parts only protect themselves and the aircraft
leaseback owners.
