Does pretty much everyone buy CFI insurance? I've been told that as long as you accurately and completely log all your dual given, that's pretty good protection from liability. I'll never be instructing in my own airplane, as I don't own one, but I will possibly be giving dual in other peoples' personal airplanes (i.e. not through a flight school). I'm also planning on contracting through a couple of flight schools instead of being an actual employee. At least one of the schools requires insurance, so I'm tempted to just get the bare minimum.

So, what do all you experienced CFIs do? :confused:

If you're working for a place (ie, on the payroll) number 1 make sure you are covered by and named on the schools insurance policy. Get a copy of the policy and review it.

I also carry AVEMCO insurance as well, but get a minimal policy, because I do some side flying for people on the field.
 
i carry $1 million worth of coverage personally because i freelance outside the school at which i'm employed. $650 a year is peanuts in the grand scheme of things, even for a broke CFI.
 
CFI insurance in my opinion is too expensive for what they offer. At my place they covered us for 1 mill liability for the FBO - didnt carry any on myself. Just make sure that if something goes wrong that there are no survivors. Happy flying
