I'd sure like to know what states you are talking about.
There are no limits to liability in FL, and that is the largest training state in the US. The Tort Reform act has been shot down 3 times in a row now.

Yeah, somehow I heard about that. It was passed, then shot down by the feds, and has floundered ever since.
Luckily for Cessna, Beech, and Piper, that doesn't matter in the slightest. When they sell an airplane anywhere in the US, the sales contract will contain a choice of forum and/or choice of law clause requiring that all claims against the manufacturer be brought in such and such a state or court. You can bet that the clause will specify a state with a brief statute of repose. Those clauses are routinely upheld by courts.
