Anyone know home much it would cost to insure a private airport? I know
some people with private fields on the sectional "No landings without
prior permission of owner" and they will tell you that it's open to all
their friends, but they don't have any insurance. I'm thinking that they
are really leaving themselves open to lawsuits if someone gets hurt due to
a rough landing (or worse). I also notice that more than a few private
fields are for sale, and I'm wondering if this is one of the reasons why.



What is sad is that having a private field SHOULDN'T leave you open to any
liability (short of advertising an airfield and digging a ditch down the
middle to intentionally cause accidents). Short of something that nuts, why
would you as a property owner be liable if I can't control my airplane?
Lawyers suck.
