Safety Pilot restrictions by the Insurance Company?
Without the restriction being discussed how does the club/insurance company
control which pilots are risking the airplane? "Risking" the airplane? What are you talking about? The PIC "risks" the airplane every time he flies it. He "risks" the airplane even more if he takes a passenger. Perhaps passengers should be required to be club members. Without the rule a club member can designate any warm body sitting in the right seat as safety pilot. No, the safety pilot has to meet certain FAA standards. The PIC "risks" the airplane every time he puts on a hood. But it is the PIC that is risking the airplane. The rule seems to head off the ambiguity by requiring both pilots to be approved by virtue of membership. Ambiguity can also be headed off by requiring all occupants to be club members. Jose -- Humans are pack animals. Above all things, they have a deep need to follow something, be it a leader, a creed, or a mob. Whosoever fully understands this holds the world in his hands. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
