I've had USUA's third-party liability policy for nearly three years. I consider a liability policy to be essential, especially if my aircraft is going to be anywhere near other planes or any people.

"The comments about determining hull value are moot since this is a liability only policy. I have the policy in case my Legal Eagle is somehow connected with a hangar fire, somebody walks into the spinning prop, the plane impacts another aircraft on the ground (hand-propping gone very bad???), or some other scenario where damage occurs as a result of my plane damaging/injuring another plane or person.

I would not base my UL on an airport without the insurance even if the airport allowed it (most won't). To put my family's entire assets at risk over a $10,000 aircraft is unconscionable for me when insurance is readily available. The policy offers $1,000,000 liability coverage plus a personal injury payment. The USUA policy was the only one I could find for a non N-numbered aircraft. Applications are available online.

I don't leave home without it. $400/year well-spent. "

I believe Mark Forbes has given me permission quit Ushpa and obtain insurance through USUA and continue to fly Sylmar.

From a private message:
Just checked the FAQ…you can add one insured landowner under the USUA policy through
First Flight. It's also coverage-by-hull, so if you change gliders you need to make sure
it's registered through USUA and you have to notify the change to the insurers.
