I used to instruct through a school and have since gotten enough requests by aircraft owners that I've decided I'm going to get into freelance instruction. Have a few things I'm curious about...
1) Whats the story on insurance? I assume that I need to be named on their policies as well as purchasing my own liability insurance. Is it necessary to purchase aircraft liability insurance for myself as well?
2) How do freelance CFIs conduct ground school/lessons? All of the airports in this area either do not have FBOs or have FBOs that are run by flight schools which would not welcome freelance instructors.
3) Are there any things I should know that are important but wouldn't necessarily be obvious?
Thanks much guys
