I think you will discover there was no legal requirement prior to 2005 to insure an aeroplane . Providing the patient is informed , a surgeon with no qualifications can legally carry out surgical operations . Unlike Vetinary doctors who need to be qualified to operate on animals . |

It is however an offence to drive a car uninsured . Providing the patient is informed , a surgeon with no qualifications can legally carry out surgical operations . Unlike Vetinary doctors who need to be qualified to operate on animals . https://www.caa.co.uk/Aircraft-regis...-for-aircraft/ a surgeon without qualifications is not a surgeon and carrying out a surgical procedure unqualified is assault as demonstrated this week by a tattoo artist who split tongues and cut ears off being done for assault. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...ngham-47198786 |

The club owner is prepared to donate £50,000 to the search for Ibbotson but wasn’t prepared to fund proper travel arrangements. To those who say that they offered commercial flights but Sala insisted on his own arrangements, I say that the arrangements made were not ones that Sala was happy with and it has become quite clear that a Football Club does have the ability to control what footballers do in their own time. |

And many flying school/club aircraft have fuel cards with which fuel is paid. But that doesn't mean that the club or school will not claim back those expenses later on.
If ciminal charges/liabilty claims were brought against me every time I said these words... In court this is meaningless hearsay. Maybe he didn't know who he was going to carry and how much money the guy was about to earn? Anyway, irrelevant in court. And my personal experience is that people in general are more greedy the more money they have. And even a guy earning a billion a year might not say no! to being offered a free trip. Before court only evidence counts. Been there, done it... (flying related and not flying related). I also thought that my opponent's cause was so ridiculous that no judge could take it seriously. I learnt my lesson. |

Cardiff offered him transport - he said he would make his own arrangements
Premier League Football Clubs have rules that govern how footballers behave on and off the field. Why? Because many of them don’t have very good decision making of their own and they represent a huge investment. Therefore most Football Clubs would have checked the travel arrangements and vetoed them if unsuitable. Whether this was a failure by the Directors/Manager or the employee who was looking after Sala, I think the Football Club were careless and have paid a price for it. |
Do we know whether Sala was officially under contract at Cardiff?
We are told he has signed to Cardiff but was it all cut and dried with signatures on the dotted lined and was he or not on the Cardiff insurance schedule. It appears he had not started at the club yet with all this shuttling back and fro so maybe not which might explain why Cardiff were sort of offering him a alternative flight arrangement rather than telling him "these are your flights which you will use" |

No insurance

I hope this particular tragic accident will lead to a very bold line to be drawn between recreational and commercial flying. From whatever perspective this accident is viewed from the inescapable truth is the same. This flight took place for no other reason than to transport a passenger whose sole intention was to get to his destination expeditiously and, safely. That latter requirement would appear to have been compromised by the choice of the manner in which he was transported. The extent of the shortcomings of which were of such severity that when in conspiring to combine in the way that they did, it led to loss of life. It has been proven over and over, it is never a single factor, it is always a combination of a number of factors that when combined lead to tragic loss of life in the air. Human factors play a most significant part in this causal chain of events. These are not necessarily always a factor that arise in the cockpit.

Does the EASA third party insurance requirements apply to all civil aircraft in EASA airspace, or to civil aircraft landing in EASA countries, or only to civil aircraft registered in EASA countries?

I think there is some confusion on this thread - no one builds hours at age 59. Build them for what - to get a CPL ? Once your are 60 you cannot legally fly single crew commercial flights - even with a CPL . Can't think of an airline who would take a low time 60 years old with no commercial experience for two crew ops.

Quite right about confusion. There is no FAA regulation that prohibits me, an FAA CPL well over 60, from flying single crew commercial flights. That could be glider towing, crop spraying, banner towing, parachute operations etc. Commercial operation is far more extensive than part 121 operation.

Yeh, confusion indeed - A 59 year old UK resident with a UK PPL and an FAA add on based on his EASA license is what we're talking about - can I suggest that you read up on the EASA regulations which apply in this case - particularly on the examples you gave. Getting back to the point raised i.e. hour building - the pilot in this case had plenty of hours.
FCL.065 Curtailment of privileges of licence holders aged 60 years or more in commercial air transport (a) Age 60-64. Aeroplanes and helicopters. The holder of a pilot licence who has attained the age of 60 years shall not act as a pilot of an aircraft engaged in commercial air transport except as a member of a multi-pilot crew. "Commercial air transport" means the transport of passengers, cargo or mail for remuneration or hire. How would this regulation apply to, for example, banner towing, crop spraying, or glider towing? Perhaps there is another EASA regulation that does apply? |

There is a brief article about the cost sharing/pseudo charter situation in the current Private Eye. Reasonably well informed by the standards of the non specialist press.
