    far better off talking to geoff for a clear understanding of this policy. he is a great bloke to talk to, always happy to answer questions.

    i know what third party insurance is but i did not know what it covered with raaus members insurance which you would not be familiar with. it is a policy that covers us in any raaus aircraft. it has always been hard to get a clear explanation from them. what i wanted to know was whether they covered the aircraft because if it is not your own then it could be considered third party property.

    15k makes a solo student one hard landing away from doubling the cost of an rpc. most people would never have to find out i guess but it does happen occasionally.

    geoff the broker deals with aircraft insurance every day and he has never heard of a $15000 excess. He said maybe up to 10,000 max on a very expensive AC.

    today i have spoken to raaus and geoff tompkins the raaus insurance broker. fly boy is correct . if one hires an raaus registered aircraft for solo training or not the ra policy will cover 3rd party damage caused by the aircraft under your control but not the aircraft you are flying. a good example is the jabiru that became wall art at goolwa when it went through the hangar wall at high speed. the ra members insurance covered all the repairs to the buildings. now when a student is training the instructor is pic at all times when he is in the aircraft so he has to pay the insurance excess. as soon as he gets out the solo student becomes liable for the excess. i rang my club and asked as well what their policy is and they sent me the figures. most of the club aircraft have a $1250 excess but some of the newer ones up to $5000. the broker thinks the school with the $15000 excess is paying reduced premiums but just passes on that ridiculous excess to students nad instructors, pretty shifty.

    I have no idea which post you are referring too.
  9. BrendAn
    I have read that on Google but also I read that once you become solo you are responsible for the excess. The same as if you have your licence and hire an aircraft.

    As raaus members we have third party cover. Would that extend to a flight school aircraft.
  11. BrendAn
    It's a fine line. A hard landing can cause a lot of damage.

    The word is trainee. Trucks and cars are not hired to trainees. The schools I have used have never supplied any t and c,s. Certainly worth looking into.

    A rental is only hired to an experienced driver. A student in a flying school is paying them to teach them to fly. I would have thought the student would not be held responsible. Maybe you are right , I just never thought of it before.

    I heard something quite disturbing about a training accident recently. The student was asked to pay the insurance excess which was a lot of money. Is that normal. I just assumed that you were covered when you pay for your training. Minor accidents can be expensive repairs.

    Would you prefer I don't post these videos that I find, I just thought they would be interesting for people that hadn't seen them.

    I was only interested in the aircraft. I thought there was some great footage of them. Why would you come to the conclusion above. ?

    They lost 20 kph

    That's a big help . Why don't you explain what you are talking about. The xair antenna is on a metal bracket on the fuse boom so it should be earthed to the battery anyway.

    Why don't you pay a few dollars a year . It supports the running of this site and you will get your 30 minutes.
  21. BrendAn
    Why.
  22. BrendAn
    I agree. I am going to check where all my earths are running too .
  23. BrendAn
    The question is why do they bother doing it. Running the risk of wrecking their aircraft just to show off.

    So you say if I chuck a jumper on there and the radio comes good I have achieved nothing. Its a quick job on my xair. Battery and antenna are only a meter apart.
