Safety Pilot restrictions by the Insurance Company?
I belong to a flying club. Of the many club rules, one is that the
pilot acting as PIC must be a club member. I can certainly see where this is necessary. However, the Chief Pilot for the club claims that the insurance company is requiring that a safety pilot for IFR practice must also be a club member, even when the safety pilot will *not* be acting as PIC. I was told that the reason behind this is that in the event of an accident/incident, the insurance company doesn't want anyone who was acting as a required crew member to be a non club member. Is this normal for an insurance restriction like this? It seems to me that this is just making it harder for the IR pilot to practice. Thanks, |
