Occasional Instruction in own airplane
Hello,
I'm a CFI, and am considering buying a Cherokee, mostly for personal use. I would like to be able to offer occasional flight instruction in that plane (less than 50 hours per year). This would consist mostly of BFRs and intro flights. I recall seeing that insurance for such occasional instruction was offered somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. I don't want to pay an extra $2000 for such coverage tho. Is anyone else doing this, and if so where did you obtain the appropriate insurance coverage? Thanks, Chris |

Flying for hire is what your CFI covers... Offering YOUR aircraft out to the public is a different ballgame - airtaxi... Remember Bob Hoover and CYA... cheers ... denny |

Chris,
Call AVEMCO, I recall them issuing a press release around the time of Oshkosh covering this with little additional policy cost (for incidental instruction). Don't know how this works for primary where the student will use the plane solo. Good luck. wrote ... I'm a CFI, and am considering buying a Cherokee, mostly for personal use.

An airport authority cannot limit access to the airport for "private"
instructors running their own operations and not being associated with a "recognized" flight school. To do so they would jeopardize their Federal Funding.

Perhaps correct in theory, but not in reality. Some airports do indeed have requirements that include maintaining insurance, office space, restrooms, parking facilities, etc. And if your local airport does, good luck finding anyone in the Federal Government that will help an independent CFI fight it. I would hope it's a rare situation, but it was discussed on one of the rec.aviation groups a year or so ago, and several people acknowledged the problem with their local airport. So it does indeed happen. |

To do so they would jeopardize their Federal Funding. This has come up before, and although you are correct about them not being able to stop you from teaching at a publicly funded airport, they can require you to do other things, such as establish an office at the airport, and to rent the office, and possibly hangar space from the airport authority. They can not keep you from flying in from elsewhere to practice, so it might be a good idea to find a place that will not keep you from teaching as you wish. -- Jim in NC |

The vast majority of small airports (nearly all privately owned airports, and even many municipally owned ones) receive no funding, so they can do what they want. -Dana -- Never write device drivers on acid. |
