Note
that the above coverage figures far exceed the legal requirements of
$300,000 per aircraft seat.
Pacific
Flying Club's policy has a $5,000 deductible, which is waived by a $1.95
per Hobbs hour ($4.95 for twin engine aircraft) charge levied in addition
to the aircraft rental fee. The Pilot In Command (PIC) is responsible
for a $250.00 deductible in the event of accidental damage to the aircraft.
Charges
for the waiver of insurance do not apply to Student Pilot Permit
holders.
The
above waiver does not cover airsickness or wilful damage to the
aircraft. Pacific Flying Club reserves the right to charge for the labour
and materials needed to clean or repair the aircraft in these and/or
other exceptional circumstances.
Note
that the above insurance only covers the passengers of the aircraft.
The Pilot In Command must arrange for his or her own personal coverage.
Personal:
Pilots
are advised that Pacific Flying Club does not carry personal health
or life insurance. These forms of coverage are the responsibility of
the pilot. All pilots are advised to carry out-of-province health insurance
when flying out of Canadian Domestic airspace and should advise their
passengers to do the same.
