Minimum time that insurance requires for SIC?

[westwind driver]

Well gee. Our department must be a fluke or has fallin through the cracks. I just looked over our policy yesterday.

While we do have minimum times for non-schooled SIC's, there are no minimum times listed for those with Manufacture Schooled SIC's.

Our "open pilot" states (loosely verbatim) that the SIC have attended an approved Manufacturer's School within the preceeding 12 months, OR have 2000 TT, 1000 ME, 250 MEJ, 100 make/model.

We use Accordia, have $100M liability blah blah.

I was once told the chief pilot is good friends with the underwriter, so maybe this has some bearing on it???

Dunno, guess it all depends on the aircraft and operator.

Nope, it doesn't depend upon the aircraft or operator - totally. It really all depends upon what you are able to negotiate with the insurance company. There are only a relative few companies that underwrite aviation insurance and they can get pretty competitive at times.

Like I mentioned in my earlier post, we made no attempt to negotiate lower minimums. We didn't need to. But, that's kind of like walking into a used car dealing and asking how much for that car over there then writing him out a check.

If for some reason, we ever started using a lot of contract or part-time pilots in our operation I'd maked sure we'd have an "at chief pilot's descretion" clause in the policy. It's really not that big of a deal in most cases.

Hey Sled, I'd let your S2000 beat my Z4 if you let me fly with your copilot sometime

He seems really nice.

I just talked to 'Sleds better looking, snappier dressing cohort. He said he'd be happy to fly with you on any of his 27 days off per month.

OUCH! That hurts!

But I'll take him up on it anyway.

He is really nice... As long as he takes his medication. What's that you say about a Z4 beating an S2000? Did I hear you right?

Hmmm... That explains it. Now I know why you hardly ever see any Z4s around here.

I'll bet your airplane is faster than mine, too.
