A question for commercial operators. Is liability insurance for pilots available to protect a commercial pilot who is involved in an accident. I.E. to cover the pilot (or his estate) from litigation from the family of a survivor.
A successful suit could be life destroying for one, or their surviving family. If this kind of insurance exists, is it:
- Afforadable?
- Normally funded by an employer?
- Normally funded by the pilot?
- Available to cover $$ Millions $$ in liability?
- Easy to get (I.E. are there qualifying tests) based on pilot experience or accident records for example?
I have searched far and wide in PPRUNE and not found much. If you know the thread address, please post.
