Hello, 

I am buying a Cessna 172 and am leasing it back to my flight school. I have a few questions with what I should do with the insurance. The flight school wants me to be a ‘named person’ on their policy. As in they hold a policy on the plane itself and liability and they are the sole name on that policy while I am just there. They are also expecting me to pay for this insurance in its entirety. In the event something happens, we would both have to sign to use any funds. I am assuming this is unreasonable if not risky for me? 

I am also wondering if I should just have my own insurance for liability and replacement. Can I get an insurance policy for the replacement costs even if that is more than what the plane appraises for? Can I get insurance for loss of revenue?

If anyone has advice or can point me in the direction of someone who may have some answers please let me know!

Hi Everyone,

I just retired from 53 years of flying.  Currently, I have a collection of many airlines and aircraft AFM's (Aircraft Flight Manuals), Flight Engineer for B747, 727.  AFM's for mostly B767 and a few B737's.  I do not want to just throw them in the trash because these manuals were such a part of my life.  I have been to a few flight schools that actually had a library of aviation resources.

I would love to donate my manuals to such a flight school if you have an actual library and would like to have these manuals for your students' interest or motivation.  I only require that you take a few pictures of the library room and pay for the shipping cost via your preferred shipper.

Please respond if your flight library can really use these manuals.

Regards,
Jonathan
