I seriously doubt this accident will answer that question. The NTSB will file the report with minimal data and a reference to contact the French or the British (which ever one does the investigation) and that will be the extent of the Fed's involvement (unless the investigating authority asks them to be involved). Neither the CAA nor the DGAC have shown any tendency to stress over a technical issue of this sort (after all the intent wasn't to fly to France). Furthermore, I have yet to see any evidence of an insurer walking away from a claim based on something like this.
