It pays to be selfish
Insurance people told me you get a "good" discount if you agree to NEVER LET ANYBODY ELSE FLY YOUR GLIDER.
Man! Lots to learn. I'm having to relearn a lot about Insurance and Aircraft. Like they don't care of the "experimental" word written on your glider. In GA that makes your insurance sky rocket. (if you can even get insurance) |

I allow a number of people to use my gliders(2 are at the Club Nationals now). I'm not aware that it costs me any more to do so. UH |

I just insured with Costello through SSA.
It's about 10 percent or so more to bind coverage that allows others to use your glider. They do require a CFIG cockpit checkout for the pilot using the glider prior to being flown. |

A SLSP may not be something the insurance company will let others fly even if they leave the engine alone. Seems there is a break point at which there is no "open pilot clause", and additional pilots cost additional money. All this also depends on what you think a good deal is! If you allow another pilot to fly your glider and they allow you to fly theirs, seems to me a very good deal. Many find allowing a junior pilot to fly is a good deal. If Ripacheco1967 and a friend bought a glider and each paid 1/2 of the insurance, maintenance, tiedowns, etc, that would be good too. Jim |

There is a middle option: add specific named pilot(s) to the coverage. Depending on the glider and the prior experience of this pilot(s), it may not cost any extra.

Just had to be a named pilot, not open ended, and have a cockpit sign off. Can be a good idea to add your favorite instructor or mentor. |

That's right.Â* I have a friend on both the Stemme and the Cessna-180
policies for no extra cost.Â* He only had to execute a Pilot History Form showing his qualifications.Â* The Stemme is way more complex to operate than the 180, and the 180 requires much more attention during take off and landing.Â* I'm also allowed to fly his glider.
