Is aircraft insurance really necessary if you own a private aircraft?
Monday, January 26th, 2009Michael C asked:
Tell me if I’m not making sense, but if you own a car, you need insurance. You have car insurance in case you get into an accident. When you get into an aircraft accident, the damage is either minor where you could afford it, or you are most likely dead and insurance wouldn’t matter to you. Am I crazy or does that make any sense?
Why spend the money?
I wouldn’t buy one without purchasing insurance just on principle, but this was just a thought that came to mind and I wanted some input.
How are people issued a pilot license if they are susceptible to forgetting the landing gear? This question will go to voters, but as I said, it was just a thought…
