As Shanna Linton had previously posted in the article mentioned below, when letting another pilot fly your plane you may be unintentionally voiding your insurance policy. The previous post quickly went in a different direction, Ha ha ha! Although those were all good questions and topics, the main idea we were trying to convey is that you should always read your policy or check with your broker before allowing another pilot to fly your aircraft.
Here is some more information regarding naming a pilot to your policy:
When you have a 'named pilots only' policy, it is intended for just that. When you request to have a pilot added to your policy the underwriter may require a check out or a specified amount of dual hours to be completed with a CFI. If this check out or dual is completed in your insured aircraft, this pilot and the CFI must be named pilots on your policy prior to receiving this training. You must notify your broker to make this addition, and they will have the underwriter add these pilots to your insurance policy (there may be an additional fee, depending on the pilot). If the training is completed in another aircraft, then you must follow the guidelines of that policy.
If you proceed with training and do not name these pilots on your insurance policy, any potential loss may not be covered. We would hate for something unfortunate to happen and have no way to help you.
