In other words, if you fly over gross, you are wide open if you have an accident WHILE the aircraft is being operated over gross, for a potential fight with the insurance carrier. I believe this is correct. Please feel free to check this out. I'd be interested to know if this situation has changed. This is what I asked my friend the insurance company lawyer. He tells me that there has to be some language in the contract that excludes coverage for operating outside operating limitations. The cannot make up exclusions after the accident/incident. None of the policies I have says one word about operating outside documented limitations. Anecdotally, I do know one pilot that was tagged by the FAA for an incident while overweight. While the FAA gave him 90 days to think about his error, the insurance company didn't say boo. The question is quite simple; Is your insurance valid if you knowingly operate the insured aircraft in violation of existing FAA regulations and the manufacturer's limitations for gross weight? (Flying over gross without a waiver to do so I believe meets both these parameters) Well, the FAR part is obvious. If they denied claims for violating FARs, they wouldn't have to pay 95% of claims. As for the rest, it's fairly simple. If it's not in the contract, it's not grounds for denying a claim. Interestingly, flying with a valid ferry permit generally invalidates coverage. Specifically the requirement that the standard airworthiness cert. I've flown the Deb on a ferry permit a number of times when it was out of annual. Insurance company said, "Yes, I"m covered" as long as the pilot is qualified, or meets their minimum qualifications AND I use a vailid ferry permit. IOW it has to be inspected to be considered airworthy to fly it to the FBO doing the annual. be in effect. A ferry permit is a Special Airworthiness Cert. and does not meet the standards in any policy I've had. Every plane I've ever ferried required the insurance company to issue a specific waiver for the flight under the permit, because the policy specifically states an exclusion for it.

I've never even seenone except in Cessna's ads, though. Bertie Are you on acid? You can dream up more **** than a lame duck president. |

Interesting, I've been around 182s since I could walk and probably before I could walk and I've noticed such a thing. The child seats are an option. Cheers Anyone got a reference on this? It was available on the 150, but I have never seen anything on a 172 or 82. |

No, he's thinking of a 206. If you remove the seats and top off only to half fuel, you can usually get an extra jumper in a 182 or 206. Pilot plus 4 in the 182, and pilot plus 6 in the 206. |
