Owning Your Own Airplane: Insurance Required?

I can't find more recent numbers but in 1995 there were six states
that required aircraft liability insurance; California, Maryland, New
Hampshire, Minnesota, South Carolina and Virginia. Make sure you
check to see what your individual state requires.

I dont need to be preached to about the importance of having insurance
on your airplane, but I remember hearing somewhere recently that as a
aircraft owner, your not required by law to have it insured (the way
you are with a car.)

Is there any truth to this?

Yeah...not, "Live Irresponsibly or Die". (Unless "free" means having someone
else pay for your mistakes).

Oddly (well, maybe not THAT odd), following up on strictly a civil claim is
much harder than one that has a criminal penalty (failure to insure) as
well. You can do what you want to your neighbor, but don't screw with the
government.
