Insurance

 

  • A large part of your club dues pays for Insurance coverage, which covers both our aircraft and a member's liability for negligence. As with all flying insurance there are qualification requirements, limitations, and exclusions. Our policy usually has limitations of one million per accident; one hundred thousand per person; and, twenty-five thousand per family member. However, coverage may be voided by various circumstances including the violation of CFRs. A copy of the Club's current insurance policy and limitations is kept each aircraft. It is up to each individual member to ensure that each of his flights is such that our Insurance coverage is in effect. KFI's current policy is with Avemco, which you can contact at 800-638-8440 if you have any questions with regard to insurance coverage under KFI's policy.

    Knoxville Flyers Inc. by-laws require members to be responsible for the club insurance deductible in the event of any damage caused in the use of club aircraft. Therefore, to fly Knoxville Flyers Inc. club aircraft, members, and instructors instructing in club aircraft, must purchase an Avemco aircraft policy for coverage of club deductible or present suitable alternative insurance for board approval. Otherwise members will be prohibited from flying or scheduling club aircraft.

  • Only Knoxville Flyers, Inc. Club members may fly Knoxville Flyers, Inc. aircraft. A member's insurance is void unless he or she has received a check-out by a Knoxville Flyers, Inc.

  • Check-out in N3191R (Cessna 182, C-182) requires at least the following logged time in a C-182 prior to acting as pilot in command of N3191R: (1) 10 hours in N3191R if the member has less than 100 hours of total logged time, or (2) 5 hours in N3191R if the member has 100 hours or more of total logged flight time.
