I'm pretty sure there are some freelancers out there.
I have a friend who owns an aiplane (C-152) that he has offered to rent to me for freelance instruction. Well, actually he would rent the plane to the student, and I would charge the student for my instruction, keeping 100% of that.
What do I need to do as far as insurance is concerned? Does the owner's insurance cover the operation? Do I as the instructor need to get special insurance? Does the student need insurance? I'm guessing the answers are No, Yes, and Yes.
When I did my private in the same airplane, I never bought insurance (I wasn't renting it though). Ignorance unfortunately is no excuse, so I got lucky.
For that matter, what sort of insurance does/should and instructor carry if he/she is working at an FBO?
I have a feeling that when I bring up the fact that he would have to do 100 hr. inspections, he might not be so hip to the idea.
