What if the pilot was a freshly minted RPL at 18 years old or 75 and has 41 hours total time? Your children aren’t informed passengers... you have to make the decision for them.
Sadly, how very true.
Some time ago, a private operation, but the pilot was a Regional Captain, the aircraft a private C-172, last flight of the day, of a series of flights at a charity open day.
Bad gust, aircraft wrecked, and the only passenger, a child, permanently disabled.
No insurance cover for TP Personal damage.
The big winners were the lawyer, of course, at the point where I ceased to have any further involvement, the combined legal expenses were already approaching $1.0M, with personal bankruptcy a real prospect for at least one involved, with further damages action ahead.
