Is aircraft insurance really necessary if you own a private aircraft?

Michael 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…

valcyrilestrada asked:


Does aerospace engineers and scientist are developing a 0 gravity environment for aircraft cockpits which will totally render g force effects ineffective on pilots? As technology increases the capabilities of aircraft exceeds than that the limitations of human body could handle, as what i saw in movie “stealth”, UAV’s are built for that purpose, to do some manuevers which a pilot’s body is limited to do. Is it impossible to have such technology now? im referring to 0 g force effect cockpits.
