Aerodrome operators, I could use a bit of help. A good friend, who was the owner of a home aerodrome, with a half dozen aircraft tied down, passed on very unexpectedly a couple of weeks back. (slim 49 year old CPL, sudden fatal heart attack :eek::sad:). This has left his widow to manage the home aerodrome, along with the associated aviation business, and life in general. I'm offering help.
The non owned aircraft tied down there seem to have nothing more than a handshake agreement to be there. Now, I think that's not enough to protect her from economic or practical nusense. I am assisting her in getting things organized. A part of that will be to express to these aircraft owners that there are a few expectations (indemnification for damage, tying it down effectively, cutting grass, etc.).
Can anyone offer me a sample of an agreement that an aircraft owner would be expected to sign to tiedown at an aerodrome? I intend to draft and agreement which she will have the owners sign, to protect and enable her. The owners who have abandoned non flying wrecks there, and seem not to care, will be asked to take them away.
Your help is appreciated....
