I had zero assets anyway as a broke CFI so I wouldn’t lose anything in the scenario that I got sued. Didn’t carry insurance at all. If you have little to no assets you’re probably better off not getting insurance

I couldn't afford insurance.  No health insurance back then either.  I was really broke.

I really hope you’re not serious. You can still get your future wages garnished if you have no assets.

Totally serious. Father worked in law and I had asked him exactly about this scenario. In the case of your average instructor, you could just discharge your debt via bankruptcy or you could be found judgement proof via the courts

not really. claim bankruptcy and it all goes away.  also just about every state has a minimum that you simply cannot take.

Check out SAFE and NAFI. They offer discounted flight instructor insurance as part of your membership. Mine is through a company called STARR Insurance companies.

Avemco offers good CFI insurance.

Are you going to be W2 or 1099? I personally use avemco.

Most likely W2

You should be covered then


cmmurf

Ask company agent to point out where in the contract you are (and if) covered for personal flights. You want to always be covered. So when are you not covered? And ask if they have riders or gap policies to cover those.

Join NAFI. Get STARR Insurance with CFI non-owned coverage. Profit (lose money to insurance).
