There's no way any party is authorized by any CFR to demand 'proof of insurance' on your aircraft during a ramp check. No such proof is required to be in the aircraft. No state law requires it nor do the FAA or the NTSB.

It's just not part of the formula. Now, that said, here are some parties who have a valid reason to ask to see your insurance binder (none of which require it be in the aircraft): - The operator of your field may be under some insurance requirements, too. If they are, they often want proof that the aircraft is insured before allowing you to base it on their ramp, in their hangars and so on. - IF something does happen to you and something gets damaged or someone gets hurt, the court may decide to examine your character as part of determining your sense of responsibility. This may or may not strike anyone as a reasonable way to measure your ability to be responsible but that doesn't prevent some trained leach from attempting to paint you negatively if you aren't carrying a binder.

    Subject: Hegy 72 x 42 to trade for A-75 prop
    ----- Original Message ----- From: kmordecai001@comcast.net Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2007 9:55 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Hegy 72 x 42 to trade for A-75 prop Pieters, I've got a very nice Hegy 72 x 42 on NX520SF, perfect prop for an A-65.....but mine is an A-75 so I'm not getting the desired rpm/horsepower out of it. Turns 2200 static, 2400 at WOT level flight on a cool day with a fresh tight A-75. I'd like to offer it up for trade if someone has a similar but flatter pitch prop, I'm guessing a 72 x 40 would be about right. I ran into a fellow at Sun n' Fun with an A-75 on a Grasshopper running a Sensenitch 72 x 38, but you can't directly compare different manufacturers. He said it pulled 2550-2600 climbing out, so it was definitely a climb prop. If you're interested please email me directly and I"ll reply with photos. It's not perfect after 80 hours on a grass field, has the usual little nicks on the epoxy leading edge from all the bugs down here in Florida, but is still a beautiful prop.

    Subject: re: insurance
    Well, not that I could see with a quick check....however...you are required to register your plane with the State (and pay the appropriate tax) and to get that registration one thing you must do is provide proof of insurance. So, if you're registered, you're insured. Unless you let it lapse, but even in the case of a ramp check, they'd never know unless they called the company to be sure it's still in force, kinda like the insurance cards in our cars..they all LOOK find, but they don't know you've been cancelled untill you hit something and turns out you're not covered! But also just like cars, eventually i bet someone at the insurance outfit tells someone in a regulatory office that you're not covered! Tim in Bovey Yep, that is not a surprise, BUT there is no requirement for proof of insurance in the aircraft to satisfy any line or ramp check, correct?

    I have another airplane ( a 1961 172B) which satisfies more people than just me, has an enclosed cockpit, etc., a job that eats more than 60 hours a week, and so on. The Piet is a fun dream at this point. Before I start one, I'll first buy a core Continental O300-D, rebuild it (under supervision), can it and then start thinking about building a Piet in the basement of a Chicago bungalow where all my neighbors already have me cast as eccentric, individualistic (I don't bleat very well) loud. ;) So I'll watch you guys for a while, learn what I can and maybe before I die, I'll sacrifice some spruce and STP. Something about the Piet is so much more attractive than an RV-*.

    > But also just like cars, eventually i bet > someone at the insurance outfit tells someone in a regulatory office > that you're not covered! I have no doubt of that, either. The point is, though, that a ramp check carries no requirement for your bond papers. When you check the FARs, they are the sole set of guidance for what must be with you and in the airplane. Not gonna quote, but we are required to have only our medical and our 'license'. Your airplane must have it's Airworthiness Cert, Weight and Balance, Registration (there's your proof in your state), appropriate placards, operating limitations and a POH , if the aircraft has one. Note that a Radio License is no longer required. There are additional items, including a great gotcha for older airplanes, like charts, flashlight and a checklist with specific parts (which is the gotcha element for older airplanes, Check 91.503, it's a killer as it's marked for Turbine and Large aircraft but elements of it are pr). But nowhere is there any requirement for proof of insurance during a ramp check. That's all my point is. It has nothing to do with whether you should or shouldn't be covered. You just don't need proof of it in the airplane, that's all.

    Subject: insurance
    Hey list, Just wanted to add a few cents of my own (or a dollar) to the jackpot of comments so far. I previously stated my views/understanding about ability to obtain insurance and my plans to at least do the test period without it, because it would be much more difficult, not impossible, and more expensive to get day one coverage for the first flight, because I wouldn't have much time in type, or tailwheel time. As for ramp checks and such, I'm not aware of very many if any other states other than Minnesota, that require any kind of insurance. Airport owners maybe, banks holding the loan for kitplanes maybe, but not the state itself. In ohio, car insurance liability is required for all drivers/cars, and there are now big penalties for not having your plane registered with the state, no matter what its condition, but no requirements for planes to be insured for liability or otherwise. The "everything must be registered" rule is kind of a bummer for anyone who has several "I'm gonna restore that someday" projects lying around, and the fine is more than what registration costs so it's easier to register and be legal. I have not heard of any requirement to show proof of insurance at the time of registration for Ohio, I will have to look into that, but I doubt it. Something else to consider, I believe most charity flight groups and the Young Eagles program does require coverage for passengers, though I could be wrong, so going without would mean all of your rides for the kids would have to be unofficial. I will probably end up with at least third party liability, and possibly passenger/property coverage after the test period is over, just because my tolerance for losing all I own to lawyers is low, and the insurance cost also, sometimes, buys you defense representation, which could be worth your premium if you need it, though the AOPA Legal assistance would be better. One thing I know I won't get is Hull coverage. I'm building from scratch and I will hold the repairman certificate, so I would be fixing whatever breaks. It's too much hassle to pay what could add up to almost another plane over 15 years, and then find out that I still must pay a deductible and that someone else has to give an estimate and do the work for my claim to be paid. Or worse, it's a day ending in 'y' and they refuse to pay the claim because of it. I'd rather put that money in a pietenpol maintenance fund than never see it again. This all assumes that GA hasn't been user fee-d and taxed into oblivion when the plane's done. Thanks to whoever posted the globalair link, great articles about lots of stuff.(Graham?)I had forgotten about it. I'm sure it's obvious but what's the abbreviation PLPD mean? Is it not for polite company or am I just slow? Sorry this rambled, I'll keep the damage minimal... DO NOT ARCHIVE Feel free to correct, dispute, and/or clarify my opinions and facts. Tim Hansen in Orient, Ohio

    Subject: Visit to the USA
    Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself, my name is Steve Bryan, I live in the UK and I've been building a Pietenpol for nine years now (I'm a slow worker!). In fact, there's even a picture of me and some mates with my Corvair engine in Chet Peek's 'Pietenpol Story'! I've been 'lurking' on this list for a long time and have learnt a lot just by following along, but this is my first post. The reason that I'm finally posting is because I'm going to be in the USA next month for the Formula One Grand Prix at Indianapolis (it's a car race, I work on brakes and clutches for the cars) and I thought I might try to plan a little Pietenpol tourism! I thought I could drive up from Chicago to look at the EAA museum at Oshkosh and maybe call in for a look at Brodhead? I know there won't be any fly-in taking place, but I've heard there are a lot of interesting aeroplanes based there? Does this plan sound feasible in the couple of days I will have? Any other suggestions for places to visit in the vicinity? I would appreciate any guidance. Thanks a lot.
